I don't believe Google because it could have eliminated all the ways to track people without their consent long ago if it wanted. Almost everybody uses Chrome/Blink and agrees to everything they decide. They can define and deprecate almost whatever browser APIs and behaviors they want. But it doesn't because they are the single biggest actor making use of these ways. E.g. it is known Google Captcha doesn't simply tell them you are a human, it tells them which particular human you are.
- voicedYoda 6y agoCan you explain, or provide reference points for the captcha knowing "which particular human" i am?
- SquareWheel 6y agoIt's utterly untrue. reCaptcha gives you a score of "humanness", and you can decide to allow or deny an action. There's no way to get an ID from it.
- qwerty456127 6y agoThere's no way to get an ID from it for a client. But there apparently is for Google.
