@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

Google вимкне сторонні cookie для 1% користувачів Chrome з 4 січня – масове розгортання Topics API очікується протягом року https://itc.ua/ua/novini/google-vymkne-storonni-cookie-dlya-1-korystuvachiv-chrome-z-4-sichnya-masove-rozgortannya-topics-api-ochikuyetsya-protyagom-roku/ #TopicsAPI #Браузери #Новини #Chrome #Cookie #Google #Софт

As a reminder, whether you disable Chrome's new #TopicsAPI and #PrivacySandbox (read: "Privacy" "Sandbox") or completely switch to another browser (I suggest Firefox on Windows and Safari on Mac), INSTALL AN AD BLOCKER, because Google et. al. will still know what you're doing either way unless you do.

uBlock Origin (for Chrome, Firefox, Edge): https://ublockorigin.com/

1Blocker (Safari): https://1blocker.com/

(Yes, I have an ad blocker installed even on Safari because Apple's tracking prevention still only goes so far.)

#Google says its #TopicsAPI is ready: #PrivacySandbox is shipping in #Chrome—finally. So, la $GOOG is preparing to switch off #tracking #cookies.

Sinister land grab? In today’s #SBBlogwatch, we see both sides. At #TechstrongGroup’s #SecurityBlvd: https://securityboulevard.com/2023/09/google-privacy-sandbox-richixbw/?utm_source=richisoc&utm_medium=social&utm_content=richisoc&utm_campaign=richisoc

Is anyone surprised? This is Google, after all. They've been trying to figure out how to maintain their advertising model without third-party cookies for the last few years. Anyone remember the FLOC experiment?

I only use Chrome when testing websites that I've built myself.

Topics API замість cookie: Google Chrome тепер показує таргетовану рекламу на основі історії веб-перегляду https://itc.ua/ua/novini/topics-api-zamist-cookie-google-chrome-teper-pokazuye-targetovanu-reklamu-na-osnovi-istoriyi-veb-pereglyadu/ #Конфіденційність #TopicsAPI #Браузери #Новини #Chrome #Google #Софт

The Topics API was included in July’s Chrome 115 release. If the idea of sharing information about your interests with third parties doesn’t thrill you, you can easily turn it off. Here’s how. https://tchlp.com/484ahSV #topicsapi #chrome #privacy
