     @dictatordave @RonV42 @FortyTwo Bigger problem is the identifier tied to chromium that allegedly IDs "you" regardless of what IP or VPN you use.

     @FortyTwo This is not just Chrome but any browser built on Chromium is bound to Google decision to move to what they call Manifest 3 which prevents ad blocking as we know it.

     @RonV42 @FortyTwo @dictatordave Tor Browser makes a new fake ID for every session, which is sweet. I wish some brave fork would do the same.

     @BowsacNoodle @FortyTwo @dictatordave 100% correct the super ID that is in the engine will id you. Ad removal is still easy if you use a ad blocking DNS like PiHole but as being tracked that isn't going away, Google will never let that info go.
