The story here focuses on LinkedIn, who should definitely be held accountable for what they’re doing with our data, but the real question is “Why does Chromium allow this?”
If Chromium allows this, then anyone—not just LinkedIn—can do this.
Most certainly, Google already knows all of this if you use Chromium. Meta probably does this. I’m sure others do, too.
@ramsey I say this with a heavy sigh and a place of sadness, not arrogance.
Chrome / Google has won. The utter vitriol and hatred of the main viable competition (FIrefox) baffles me. They're the underdog, and have to make desperate decisions to survive.
FF could *absolutely* be better. But with Manifest v3 neutering ad blockers, FF+uBlock is a much better choice even for non-technical users.
Idealist tend to forget that in war, you sometimes retreat and choose the least bad option.
