I think that this actually at least appears to be a good step from google.
Third parties no longer need to know who you are. As i understand it, chrome can directly deliver only the necessary information just when it is needed. No external saving of data required.
Also: get over it. Most of the internet works, because people learn of products and then buy them. Personalized ads are sent to show people things, which they specifically might be interested in. People want to sell products and solely this allows many websites you probably like to use, to exist in the first place.
No one here is inherently evil or owns you, because they can show you relevant marketing.

holy fuck I’m so sorry you think this is it, that this broke-ass business model is all that ever existed for the internet, that you’ve never experienced the good bits that used to be relatively plentiful but are now rare
…it’s also kind of fucking stupid to post an opinion like this on the fediverse of all places
Oh no, what if some of my favourite CONTENT CREATORS weren’t able to CREATE CONTENT as a profession for the lack of advertising revenue. We might regress back to the barbaric days of 2009!
Google already has your browsing data if you use chrome, whether you agree to this or not. stop using chrome.

this is the best mic drop savagery I’ve read in a while. There is no coming back from it.
The Internet is not for capitalists. It has been co-opted.
It’s not like marketing has to be an essential part of the browsing experience, either.
How would the interest break without ads? I can’t see that happening.
I’m used to loss. Bring it on.
but how will we survive without our favorite passionless low-quality content designed to drive ad impressions with no other goal in mind
