This is what Google and Bing do already, it's imperceptible to the average user.
Are these 3rd party ad extensions any worse than Google or Microsoft? They all vacuum up your data and show your ads.
- pirocks 6y agoWhilst I agree that this makes little to no difference to the average user, it is slightly different. One can sue Google/MS. Google/MS likely already have all your data already while these randoms probably don't. Google/MS have security teams while whoever made these extensions probably doesn't. A more interesting question would be, if these extension makers where as transparent as Google/MS, where sueable, and had decent security, would these extensions become okay. The answer is obviously no, but I'm not sure why.
