Is there any generous way to interpret the surveillance advertising capabilities Google is rolling into Chrome and Android as good-faith efforts?
With my current understanding, I'm disgusted to see them framed as privacy features.
@hans they're removing third-party cookies at the same time. The intention of this stuff was that it's more privacy-preserving than third-party tracking cookies:

Google is under scrutiny by the competition authorities in the UK who were arguing that removing third-party cookies is anticompetitive to the advertising industry...
@russss so my curmudgeon view of “the market insists we limit cross-org tracking, but we can't just give it up entirely" should be amended to “…at least partially because of neoliberal governments”?
