Notices tagged with chrome, page 8

The idea, #Google hopes, is that #Topics will survive privacy legislation that bans "compiling a dossier" style #adtech #tracking

They are piloting it now to see if it works. Because of Google's dominance over the browser ecosystem with #Chrome and over online advertising generally, they're the only entity in a position to do something like this.

@mhoye
In #Australia, Goo' advertise #Chrome with #legacyMedia commercials.

What is remarkable is just how much these #technoFascists must spend on #advertising, to stop the press from reporting on thr abuses. A regular person will never hear about these abuses because of this #bribery.

If only we were organised with fun leaflets to print and share.

I often heard that, #Firefox is the only true alternative to #Chrome browser - because it uses Gecko instead of blink/webkit. I just saw on wikipedia that firefox for android uses webkit.

What ?
...Why ?

You need to stop using Chrome NOW. It’s not hyperbole: Google just rolled out a change to Chrome that tracks the sites you visit, builds a profile, and shares that with any page you visit that asks.

This is real. It’s not tech bro conspiracy shit.

So in order to move from Chrome to Firefox, I used the Tab Session Manager extension on both to export my chrome tabs/windows and import them into Firefox.

However, TSM in Firefox failed to read the export from Chrome, so I needed to manually import the sessions, which required a little extra processing with node.js:

Since I've seen a lot of chatter about people switching to #Firefox as Google ramps up the enshitification of #Chrome, let me tell you about a killer feature for people who (a) need multiple accounts on the same websites (eg. devs) or specifically (b) have to use multiple Google accounts.

Firefox has an official addon called Multi Account Containers that lets you trivially set up color coded tabs that have separate sets of cookies. Log into your dev account in one, and your test account in another. Log into your personal #gmail in one and have another tab next to it with your work Gmail. I'm actually not signed in to any Google accounts in most my tabs, I just have containers for the specific tasks I do on Google products.

It'll take you 30 seconds to set up.

Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

Mozilla's explanation: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers

Many users have reported seeing a rather worrying notification when they load up Google Chrome, which reveals that Chrome will start showing them ads that rely on data from your browsing history. https://tchlp.com/3Z489GW #google #chrome #ads #history

In this vein, #StopBeingTheProduct by letting your #browser track you.

Don't use #Chrome and #Edge. Use a browser with better #DataPrivicy like #Brave and #Firefox instead:

A list of recent hostile moves by #Google's #Chrome team; handy for sharing with your entourage, to explain why they should stop using #Chromium / #GoogleChrome and use #Firefox or #Epiphany as their main #web #browser :
