no thanks, I like “risky” browsing. Never liked that Firefox implemented that Google feature.
Agree, in Vivaldi was the first thing I desactivated in the settings. It’s nothing what an good ad/trackerblocker also do (uBO, or the inbuild one in Vivaldi, it also blocks the access to phising or badware pages)
Kudos to you for posting the article even if you did disagree with it
I can only speak for me, not for others. I have put this information for users who use browsers where the Google “Save” Browsing API cannot be disabled and for those who use Google anyway. This way at least they know that they have one Spyware less, if this information is true (at least in the EU)
It sure is convenient for law enforcement and others to have the ability to immediately get the IP addresses of all visitors to a specific URL. (They just need to circumvent the OHTTP by asking fastly and google to collude…)
I thought Fastly sounded familiar. They’re partnering with everybody these days, including Mozilla to push “private” shopping ads in their latest browser shopping feature, and Invisiv in their multi-hop VPN.
The Register is usually on point. What’s up?
