So you won’t have a problem telling me your address so I can make photos of you shitting and post them on the internet. Seen as privacy is just a circle jerk.
Mainly we’re talking about avoiding mass surveillance, not simply about privacy. There’s no technical or practical reason to allow mega-corporations to track our every online move.
That’s not necessarily true. Both Amazon and Google make a lot of money with search engines and both of them are intentionally doing a worse job now than they did several years ago.
TL;DR… Google is limiting how many rules that extensions can have. Ad blockers need ~300k to run effectively, Google will limit them to 30k in Chrome citing “privacy and a light weight user experience” as the reason. This change will effectively make ad blockers in chrome all but useless. The solution will likely mean switching to more privacy focused browsers, such as Firefox.
I have embraced firefox as my primary browser now. I have a few remaining cookies on chrome that I have to re-establish in FF, and then I can’t even imagine any reason I’d even need to use chrome again other than some obscure internal web app that I can spin up on a throwaway virtual machine.
