I get the distinct feeling that the EU will have something to say about a US tech giant baking spyware into web browser that EU citizens use.

What the fuck is up with this Google-simping headline? It makes it sound like Google is doing a pro-privacy move lol

Here is what I think is happening. Google blocks certain third party tracking cookies by default in chrome. They said theyll make a list to distinguish between what they call good and bad cookies. Also they’ll add built in tracking for Google into chrome.

With chrome being the most used browser by far they can use that to sell white list slots on their list or access to the built in tracking. I assume that’s what they are after.

Looks like a good time to shitcan Chrome, and take a hard look at any forks built from it.

All your tracks are belong to us. /s

What a load of bullshit.

Privacy and security under the watchful eye’s benevolent gaze.

If you can’t delete or clear whatever site tracking it will have this will have some unintended consequences.

Ex. There is at least one site that I regularly have to delete the cookie for when it just stops working with my login. That’s the only fix. I’d be locked out if there is no way to clear that kind of data and it’s for work. This is for a 3rd party service a LOT of people use.

There will definitely be a new way to do the same thing, probably would be even better way to track.
