This reads as "save the cookies" to me. From a company who specializes in tracking of all forms including location from our phones and parsing all of our emails to enumerate our recent shopping orders on 3rd party sites.
What if websites just return to contextual ads and proper opt-in consumer studies (as traditional groups like nielson still do) instead of tracking everything their users do online and offline for aggressive targeting?
Then we wouldn't need to "save the cookies".
- starbugs 7y agoThis reads as "we will make tracking harder for everyone else but us" to me, which is even worse.
- dimator 7y agoWait how is that? At the very least, what they're proposing sounds like open specs and industry standards.
- starbugs 7y agoIt doesn't matter. That's the beautiful thing about being the owner of Chrome, which kind of is "the web" now. Open specs and industry standards are basically what you propose and accept. And you get the data anyway regardless of these standards since you own the OS (Android), the browser (Chrome), and the search engine. So anyone else getting less data equals you being ahead of all others even more equals your risk of being disrupted is even lower. Welcome to the net monopoly!
