- okareaman 6y agoI'm assuming that people are good at prying into such things will jailbreak it
- dcow 6y agoWhat? You don’t need to jailbreak anything to: document.interestCohort = null;
- jakopo87 6y agoBeing a function, probably is safer to do: document.interestCohort = () => null; so it does not cause error in Javascript execution.
- okareaman 6y agoI meant learning how to manipulate advertising data so it was more relevant, not disabling it
- livre 6y agoYou are assuming it will be a read-write property but there are a few properties and methods in JavaScript that can't be overwritten and nothing prevents Google from making this one read-only.
- ehsankia 6y agoFrom the proposed spec [0], it's literally just: cohort = await document.interestCohort(); Seems pretty easy to override with a simple extension. [0] https://github.com/WICG/floc https://github.com/WICG/floc
