Very dystopian to think Google is normalizing the idea enabling an ad tracking profile built into the browser itself.
The very notion that users need to be tracked and fingerprinted/profiled from site to site is asinine.
Advertising worked before the concept of tracking on the web. Companies simply paid for contextual ads based on the site. For example visit a site that covers college basketball and advertisers would pay to put ads here for sports gear, sports equipment etc, Go to a site that covers how to keep a nice lawn and advertisers would pay to place ads for mowers, fertilizers, etc.
The very idea that it is normal to have a specific adverting profile assigned to you to track you all over the web is disturbing.
