It doesn't need to be worse for it to be unacceptable to privacy-concerned folks which don't trust Google. It is just about the same to them since an untrustable entity like Google is stewarding it.
Which BTW makes it worse since the solution is basically putting trust in Google which just brings on more and undefined privacy issues.
- jefftk 6y agoThe argument in the linked post is not that Privacy Sandbox is "unacceptable to privacy-concerned folks which don't trust Google" but "unacceptable to ad tech companies who want to be able to continue to use third-party cookies". > the solution is basically putting trust in Google None of the privacy sandbox proposals require trusting Google: https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-privacy/privacy-sandbox https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-privacy/privacy-sandb...

- ROARosen 6y agoFair enough, but by trust I meant trust in Google's stewardship of the initiative, not trust in the sense of them actually handling data. That is what -justly or not- concerns some of my friends.
