I didn't realize FLOC was already in use. Looks like to disbable it in Chrome... you have to find a deeply nested config and then tell chrome you want to "disable privacy-preserving features". !?!? I can do this. But of course nobody else is, it's telling you are disabling privacy-preserving features! Its' making me kind of livid.

by disabling it you're giving more uniquely identifying info to the fingerprinting backend apps lol

  "the only wining move is not to play" really, if you are in a point where you hunt for hidden settings to disable in your browser? why not just use firefox?

    You can either obfuscate with stuff Like Canvasblocker and Brave, both which expose slightly randomized prints, or 'poison the well' with Ad Nauseum.

  what uniquely identifying info does the feature disable, in exchange for FLoC?

I'd hate to be that guy. But Chrome is not your friend when it comes to privacy. Chrome is the adversary.

If you're using uBO, it's defused by default: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.35.0 https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.35.0

  I thought that µBlock Origin didn't work on Chrome? If you want privacy, stay on Firefox.

    My understanding is that it's gimped on Chrome. It's still better than nothing. Firefox unfortunately is becoming harder to use with every release.
