You need to stop using Chrome NOW. It’s not hyperbole: Google just rolled out a change to Chrome that tracks the sites you visit, builds a profile, and shares that with any page you visit that asks.

This is real. It’s not tech bro conspiracy shit.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a “topic” list it shares with advertisers.

Ars Technica

It’s not just about selling you ads.

Ex: you’re a teenager living in a highly conservative state. You’re visiting sites your ultra religious family don’t want you to. Google tracks you NATIVELY IN THE BROWSER and informs 3rd parties of your interest in LGBTQ sites.

You’re NOT SAFE using Chrome.

@semioticstandard You are actually describing the status quo. That's happening all the time right now. If Google's privacy sandbox works as intended, no one will have a clue about who is behind this list.
@publictorsten @semioticstandard Google’s spec includes a description of how the list is put together, who can add things to it, and how. There is nothing like that for the current tracking regime.
