Got this notification when I opened Chrome when coming back to my desk after lunch.
"We changed our privacy settings to allow us to snoop on what you're looking at and shove you ads accordingly. Feel free to opt out, but we'll probably opt you back in when you aren't paying attention."
Why tho? Just block ads at all. They just want to be "friendly" when the web drm changes hit
I'm poor and I hate stupid bullshit. The only way to personalize ads for me is to make them go away.

-Me wiping the coffee I spat after reading this. Hilarious 😂
You will use the internet and I will creep on your every move because you are a pleb.
Ain't creepy at all imho
Serious question: Why do you use Chrome, a browser made by the world's largest advertising and spying company, when you give the slightest f* about privacy?
At least use Ungoogled Chromium if you're not gonna switch to something actually privacy-focused. Basically the same functionality, but without Google's spyware.
Who the duck thinks ad personalization is a good thing. I'm glad YouTube shows me ads for seniors on Medicare. It keeps me disaffected and hating ads.
If you weren’t aware uBlock will block YouTube ads
Ah, Enhanced, the folks that brought us interrogation.
Fuck Google
My android phone showed me something similar yesterday. Not even in Chrome. I think it's account based.
Soo enhanced privacy means "Give as more data"? I'm so happy I moved to firefox. It was pain, but worth it.
i'd like to smack them on the nose with my government
Saw this pop up at work today and thought it was a bit too on the nose for a parody
Does anyone know if this is coming to (Chrome based) Edge?
For the last year and for all of the crap Google has been changing in Google Chrome, I've actually been pretty happy with Edge (never thought I'd be saying that).
My guess is that it's unlikely, Microsoft doesn't want to empower Google even more, and running your OS is everything they need to plunder your data
Side chat... am I the only one who has started finding Bing more useful than Google? I never thought I would type that statement out in my life...
