Well, here's one I noticed the other day.
Go to settings / Privacy and Security / Ad Privacy.
By default, you give permission to:
a) mine your history and provide it to websites / ad services
b) mine your use within a website and provide it to ad services.
c) feed telemetry back to ad services.
So much for consent. You need to manually opt-out of settings you didn't even realize were there.
- buzer 3y agoThis seems like very recent addition. I didn't initially see it in settings but I noticed Chrome wanted to update (I normally use Firefox). After updating there actually was a popup telling about the settings Ad Privacy with option to open the settings page. While it being opt-out setting is not great at least they did have decadency to inform me about the change which often is not the case. I forgot to take a screenshot but it did look like following: https://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/new-ads-privacy.png https://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/new-ads-pr...
