Cookies, browser characteristics, user behavior, etc. Just because a certain bit of information could theoretically be used for fingerprinting users, doesn't mean any system that uses that information is doing fingerprinting.
- robdachshund 7y agoAgreed, but it's incredibly naive to assume they are not. Google's product is it's users, and it's a known fact they manipulate results based on what they want you to think or what they think you want to see. They are completely shady on privacy. I don't know why HN seems to be so stubborn about things like this. It's clear as day they fingerprint users, but seems like the majority of users here refuse to believe a corporation or government has done anything wrong unless they literally admit it in a press release.
