Got this notification when I opened Chrome when coming back to my desk after lunch.
“We changed our privacy settings to allow us to snoop on what you’re looking at and shove you ads accordingly. Feel free to opt out, but we’ll probably opt you back in when you aren’t paying attention.”
Would you rather your data be sent to a browser company or the largest advertising agency in the world?
… Tell me again how these are the same?
That’s a false dichotomy. I’d rather it not be sent to anyone…
Your data isn’t just sent to a browser company. The browser company shares all of it with an ad agency.
You said “isn’t any better” than chrome. Given the choice between the two, there is clearly a better option
In regards to privacy, I disagree.
That ad company is probably just selling your data back to Google anyway.
The browser company in question is primarily funded by the advertising company in question.
