On top of all the things people mention here there is a huge vulnerability in Chrome that is undermining the whole thing. They mine data at the browser level and sell it to advertisers. This is in addition to what tons of advertisers do on individual web pages. So irrespective of what we do as long as Google and other browser manufacturers mine user data there is not much progress.
I should add that Safari and Firefox (?) seem to be the only exception.

- yalogin 7y agoRead Google's own proposal for privacy on the web. The first thing they talk about is differential privacy when collecting user data in chrome.
