As a Firefox user: Oh no, anyway
How do you know if someone uses Firefox?
Don’t worry, they’ll tell you
How do you know if someone uses chrome?
You can find their SSN and credit card number on the dank web in a list of 1k profiles for $1
The “dank web” is my jam!
Let me guess. You also do Crossfit and are a vegan?
The opposite actually.
You don’t work out at all and eat only meat?
Sell cows for stolen credit card numbers
Fucking based

- Some masked radicals
Even though you got the downvotes it still made me laugh
Come on people lighten up a bit
Good thing I’m using Firefox.
Oh no, all those interest based ads I’m never gonna see.
Ads?
“Hi, I’m calling about your recent interest in furry related content. We at Furry Fetish inc recently mailed you a catalogue of our products… Oh…you haven’t recieved it yet? Well, no worries. It was sent to 324 North Street…oh… You live on 325 North Street? No worries, your name is printed in large so whoever received it knows that is was for you and will probably deliver it to you…”
Interest based ads that everyone who has connected to the same wifi as you will now see. And it’s not just interest based ads. They will use this to calculate your whole personality and manipulate you and others based on that.

My PiHole would beg to differ.
Every house needs a PiHole. I set mine up years ago and haven’t touched it since.
I should probably update it.
I’m happy to assist anyone on my wifi with installing an adblocker.
And unless google is using my data to hang a personalised billboard on my way to work, I’m not gonna be seeing any of them.
PiHole ftw
All hail Pi-hole

For those who can’t go this far, there are ad blocking DNS services (although you’ll have to trust the provider instead of relying on yourself)

Oh shit
We have enhanced your privacy, pray we don’t enhance it more.
Google Chrome? Privacy?
I mean…yeah? Is anyone surprised or shocked when Paramount Pictures releases a new movie? It’s literally Google’s whole business idea, they sell your data.
Title says “enhanced privacy” and text says they’re handing out more data to websites…
Worst part, my adblocker is removed from Chrome, have to use a system wide adblocker now. Enjoy corporate world!
simple solution: use Firefox
Gorhill already has an MV3 version of ublock. Why is no one aware of this!?
Ad/trackerblocker are inbuild in Vivaldi, customizable with own filterlists, even blocks Cookie Advices and Anti Adblock warnings in Desktop and Mobile. I can use Extensions from the Chrome Store, but no really need them, most extensions are redundant in Vivaldi.
Uhm WHAT would be “privacy enhancing” about that?
Nothing, and they don’t claim it is, they just use ambiguous wording.
“Enhanced ad privacy features”. The ads are enhanced. Privacy is just involved.
you see, they respect the fact that you are a poor slob and there is no point advertising BMWs, large TVs and individual pillows to you. So they are making you less miserable about all the stuff you cant afford which is somewhat nice to your privacy isnt it?
As part of a required test protocol, we will stop enhancing the truth in three… Two…
zrzztBecause they know that wording it like:
“We use our monopoly advantage to push anti-consumer features nobody wants. Enable extra tracking for no reason? Yes/no”
“Enhanced” like a growing tumor.
Enhances their privacy, so you (user) would not know whats being sent out.
I use Ungoogled-chromium. Chrome without google. Plain and simple.
Even more options and choices: https://chromium.woolyss.com/
Can’t see the image
It’s a twitter image that says,
“For anyone unaware, Google Chrome is currently rolling out an update that tracks your interests based on browsing history, then share them with 3rd party websites. The notification page makes it sound like they added a new privacy feature, but in actuality they automatically enrolled you into their tracking system and you have to go and manually opt out.”
There’s a screenshot of a pop up from Chrome that says, “Enhanced ad privacy in Chrome” with some marketing spin on how you get more choice on the types of ads you see.
