To me it sounds like the browser will run preinstalled spyware that profiles the user and displays ads, but without sending individual user data back to Google (we promise). Unlike javascript - that can also spy on the user and display ads - I assume Privacy Sandbox can't be disabled easily. "In addition, with the launch of the Chrome 115 release in July, Google is making Privacy Sandbox’s relevance and measurement APIs generally available to all Chrome users, making it easy for developers to test these APIs with live traffic. |

The browser is in control, not the user... Isn't that the same thing as Google is in control?
"The initiative includes Federated Learning of Cohorts as well as other proposed technologies,[3] many of which have bird-themed names". What does that even mean? Bird names? They've won the battle already. And several of the other browsers are also chromium based. https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share I commented on another forum (not web related). Someone had found a way to do something more quickly and it "works in all browsers". I tried it. Didn't work in any of mine. FF, Edge... I said so. His answer was: FF? Who uses that in 2023?. So he really meant it works in Chrome when he said it works in all browsers. I humbly said that Edge is based on chromium, but he ignored that. What beats me is why people prefer Chrome. What does it have that people want? I only see what it lacks. And what it does that I don't want. BTW what was that browser statistics site we always referred to back in the day? I'd like to see if it's still around, but I don't find it among my old bookmarks. |

I have this one, but I don't think that's it. Or is it?
