Google is paving the way to serve you ads based directly on your browsing history, instead of cookies.

Pons_Aelius, Here is what you need to know:
Stop using chrome.
LineNoise, Stop using Google services and products in general ideally. They've become a fundamental threat to a functional web.
Pons_Aelius, One step at a time.
wandermind, The only Google feature I haven’t found a passable alternative for is location history.

As far as I can see you can easily disable this in the settings? Or am I missing something?
kratoz29, For now.

The only thing you’re missing is that there’s no guarantee that the setting does anything

I had a firefox extension that randomly surfed around the web, making a complete pile of unrelated garbage out of one's browsing history, for circumstances like this.

I remember that! It clicked every single link on every website you used to muddy up your personal data.

I would run it when I was AFK, cuz it was so annoying to see all the trash created. And stopped using it pretty quickly.

You can download ungoogled chromium builds here, but using Firefox is much smarter.
bedrooms, Wasn't it also baked in Chromium? I thought there was a derived browser that disabled this feature in Chromium.
yoz, Hope this adware exploits the fuck outta chrome fanbois ❤️
