That's not Chrome's browsing history - that's an ad network, adsense, profiling you, via cookies/ip/digital fingerprinting, across every website that serves it's ads. It's like logging into facebook and saying they can see your browsing history - yes some of it, but it's because they're watching a server they own serve you requests.
- scarface_74 2y agoThe entire idea behind “privacy sandbox” is to create a profile of you for advertising based on your browsing history and the profile is created by Chrome - without being logged in and without cookies. https://privacysandbox.com/intl/en_us/ https://privacysandbox.com/intl/en_us/ More specifically the Topics API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Topics_API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Topics_API It’s opposed by both Mozilla and Apple and is only supported by Google/Chrome.
- geor9e 2y agoInteresting. So the browser knows your browsing history like every browser does, but it uses it to share some distilled data. Yeah, I definitely don't want that. Looks like I already totally disabled it though, so I'm good I guess. Privacy and security > Ad privacy Ad topics: Generates a list of your interests based on your browsing behavior. Site-suggested ads: Allows advertisers to retarget you based on your interactions. Ad measurement: Enables advertisers to assess ad performance. Toggle each of these settings to "Off" to disable them.
- scarface_74 2y agoYep. And I slightly misspoke. I said it was only supported by Chrome. More accurately, it is supported by Chrome and some Chromium based browsers.
