Google is paving the way to serve you ads based directly on your browsing history, instead of cookies.
Here is what you need to know:
Stop using chrome.
Stop using Google services and products in general ideally. They’ve become a fundamental threat to a functional web.
One step at a time.
The only Google feature I haven’t found a passable alternative for is location history.

You can download ungoogled chromium builds here, but using Firefox is much smarter.
Wasn’t it also baked in Chromium? I thought there was a derived browser that disabled this feature in Chromium.
I had a firefox extension that randomly surfed around the web, making a complete pile of unrelated garbage out of one’s browsing history, for circumstances like this.
I remember that! It clicked every single link on every website you used to muddy up your personal data.
I would run it when I was AFK, cuz it was so annoying to see all the trash created. And stopped using it pretty quickly.
As far as I can see you can easily disable this in the settings? Or am I missing something?
The only thing you’re missing is that there’s no guarantee that the setting does anything
For now.
Hope this adware exploits the fuck outta chrome fanbois ❤️
