That’s the thing. No tracking occurs. And no personal data is collected or sent anywhere. It stays in your browser. In a way it’s like your browser history. The browser knows your interests and runs auctions for advertisers. And as per GDPR you can review it, correct it and opt out at any time. It’s basically the same horrible adware thing but without tracking and fully compliant with all EU laws.
At some point Google will turn off 3rd party cookies (a decade after Safari) and adtech will have no choice but to adopt their stuff. By end of 2024 if all goes according to plan.
- dns_snek 3y agoSounds great, where's the catch? And how is this going to affect non-Chrome browsers that won't support these new advertising APIs? "Ads 2.0 aren't supported in Firefox, please use Chrome to view them" would be one hell of a selling point :)
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 3y agoOnce websites don’t get monetized on Firefox, they will do their best to push people to Chrome themselves. This website “Best Viewed in Chrome”.
- Pesthuf 3y agoI guess you'll still get ads, they just won't be personalized. Just like how windows does it when you opt out of tracking.

By end of 2024 if all goes according to plan. Sounds like an antitrust crackdown waiting to happen (both on the adtech side and the browser side)
