Lilbits: Atari and Intellivision made a retro console (kind of), Google’s Privacy Sandbox is gone for good, and Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Select with Vega OS is a lot more locked down

Atari and Intellivision have a few things in common. They were two of the first big players in the home video game console space. And neither brand is what it once was anymore.

So while it’s intriguing to see that Atari is launching a new retro console called the Intellivision Sprint, this is really a partnership between the company that now owns the rights to the Atari name and retro game […]

Google's Privacy Sandbox is dead. It was supposed to replace third-party cookies in the Chrome web browser, but Google scrapped that plan following years of pushback, and now Google is retiring most Privacy Sandbox technologies. https://privacysandbox.com/news/update-on-plans-for-privacy-sandbox-technologies/ #Google #WebBrowsers #Cookies #GoogleChrome #PrivacySandbox

"Google on Tuesday revealed that it will no longer offer a standalone prompt for third-party cookies in its Chrome browser as part of its Privacy Sandbox initiative.

"We've made the decision to maintain our current approach to offering users third-party cookie choice in Chrome, and will not be rolling out a new standalone prompt for third-party cookies," Anthony Chavez, vice president of Privacy Sandbox at Google, said.

"Users can continue to choose the best option for themselves in Chrome's Privacy and Security Settings."

Back in July 2024, the tech giant said it had abandoned its plans to deprecate third-party tracking cookies and that it intends to roll out a new experience instead that lets users make an informed choice.

Google said feedback from publishers, developers, regulators, and the ads industry has made it clear there are "divergent perspectives" on making changes that could affect the availability of third-party cookies.

In its place, the tech behemoth said it will continue to invest in enhancing tracking protections in Chrome's Incognito mode, which blocks third-party cookies by default. It also intends to introduce a new IP Protection feature in the third quarter of 2025."

#Google #GoogleChrome #PrivacySandbox #Privacy #Surveillance #WebCookies: "SIMON: A lot of us gripe and tell funny stories about what cookies drive to our screens. But in the end, do we really kind of like that, or at least we accept that as the price of having a certain convenience?

ANGWIN: So we have gotten accustomed to it. And I don't think it's a good idea for us to become accustomed to this level of surveillance, because the reality is that it can be innocuous when they want to sell you a cowboy boot, but it can be quite terrible when a bad actor wants information. And I think we are at a place where there - it's impossible to control it. And so I think there's a legitimate concern that this is an industry that's basically out of control, selling all of our personal data."

#UK #DataProtection #Privacy #ICO #Google #GoogleChrome #WebCookies #PrivacySandbox: "The ICO has raised concerns with Google’s Privacy Sandbox initiative, a set of proposed solutions to cookie deprecation designed to preserve advertising performance while improving user privacy. The ICO has pointed to a handful of possible vulnerabilities in the Sandbox’s tools that could be exploited to compromise user privacy and even potentially identify individual users who have opted out of being tracked across the web.

“We are disappointed that Google has changed its plans and no longer intends to deprecate third party cookies from the Chrome browser,” said Stephen Bonner, deputy commissioner at the ICO, in a statement shared with The Drum. “From the start of Google’s Sandbox project in 2019, it has been our view that blocking third-party cookies would be a positive step for consumers.”"

Why #EFF #PrivacyBadger Opts You Out of #Google’s “#PrivacySandbox”
Privacy Sandbox is Google’s way of letting #advertisers keep targeting #ads based on your online behavior, even after #Chrome completes its long overdue phaseout of third-party cookies.
Privacy Sandbox might be less invasive than 3rd-party cookies, but that doesn’t mean it’s good for your privacy. Instead it shifts control of online tracking from third-party trackers to Google.

> “[We] are proposing an updated approach that elevates user choice,” wrote Anthony Chavez, vice president of Google’s #PrivacySandbox initiative. “Instead of deprecating #thirdPartyCookies, we would introduce a new experience in #Chrome that lets people make an informed choice that applies across their #web #browsing, and they’d be able to adjust that choice at any time.

That's a funny way to say "opt-out" #Google

@thomholwerda How does this Meta thing even compare to Google Chrome’s " #PrivacySandbox " feature (analyzing your browsing history) which they have postponed numerous times already because of outcry out of the tech scene? The local Chrome thing seems to be maybe even more privacy-preserving than this third-party pseudo-anonymous ad server concept of Meta / #Mozilla /Apple?

#PrivacyPreservingAttribution

You know who did a great job of communicating when they added opt-out ad-tech to their browser?

@oblomov My initial gut reaction was the same. And I still think it may be wise to opt out of this experiment until it is better understood.

But what if this initiative could indeed serve as a privacy-preserving replacement for #tracking? It looks better than all the terrible ideas Google came up with to replace cookies (#FLoC #PrivacySandbox #TopicsAPI) let alone #browserFingerprinting.

Here is my take on Mozilla's #privacyPreservingAttribution aka #privateAttribution: https://suma-ev.social/@christian/112761712837712799
