« on: April 16, 2021, 03:47:25 PM »

Traffic / <strike>Brave</strike> Everyone is Blocking Google FLoC tracking
« on: April 13, 2021, 04:21:46 PM »
“FLoC materially harms user privacy under the guise of being privacy-friendly,” Brave’s Peter Snyder and Brendan Eich explain. “FLoC tells sites about your browsing history, [it] makes it easier for sites to track you across the web, [and it] promotes a false notion of what privacy is, and why privacy is important.”
