I'm curious, do people generally care about this specifically, or is it the sharing of this information with third parties that's the problem?
I run Firefox with in-built privacy protection enabled and uBlock Origin. However, I'm not doing so because I want to stop the websites I frequent knowing which email of theirs I clicked. My concern is when they share my data with other parties whose services I'm not explicitly engaging with.
- brianpan 3y agoAttributing data to a single user is what allows 3rd parties to amass a detailed profile of you (by looking at all your data from many websites that all share with the same 3rd party). I doubt people are educated enough to care about this specifically, but the tech industry should care.
