I’m not sure how moving stuff like topics of interest into the browser where it can be modified/turned off by the user in a single, local location isn’t an improvement over the current situation?
Because google is still tracking you. They are just getting rid of third party cookies being able to follow you on the web. They have fingerprinted the chrome browser itself, so every instance of it is unique to the individual using it (or their hardware) with the intent of continuing to track you while making it difficult for other third parties to do the same. And they’re using deceptive language to make it seem like that’s not what’s happening. That language may not work on everyone but it will work on the vast majority especially of younger gen people who just aren’t as tech savvy despite how much tech is integrated into their lives.
Yes, Google isn’t getting rid of tracking in it’s entirety, they’re just getting rid of the tracking competition on the Chrome browser. And no one has the guts to make their own commercial browser to stick it to Google and their monopoly, all we really have are open source browsers. Even Edge has to be open source to an extent since they borrow from Chromium.
I wouldn’t go so far as to just assume that all younger gen people aren’t tech savvy. I guess it would just depend on the person and how casual or into tech they really are.
