Google Promises Chrome Changes After Privacy Complaints (cnet.com)

Google, on the defensive from concerns raised about how Chrome tracks its users, has promised changes to its web browser. From a report: Two complaints in recent days involve how Google stores data about browsing activity in files called cookies and how it syncs personal data across different devices. Google representatives said Monday and Tuesday there's nothing to be worried about but that they'll be changing Chrome nevertheless. "We've heard -- and appreciate -- your feedback from the last few days, and we'll be making some product changes," tweeted Parisa Tabriz, a security team leader at Google. Google added in a blog post Tuesday evening that it will add new options and explanations for its interface and reverse one Chrome cookie-hoarding policy that undermined people's attempts to clear those cookies.

Chromium needs the the Mozilla treatment.

And separated out as an organization separate from Google/Alphabet. All the browsers relying on Blink/Chromium code need to do more to make sure they have contingency plans if Google pulls a Microsoft with Chrome.

Wait...

So people who turned on the account sync, then logged into chrome on various devices with that account are upset it synced? I mean, hate google all you want but that's a pretty fucking retarded reason. cookie hoarding? THAT'S a legit gripe

Was that bad? Should I not have done that?

They know full well what they're doing. This is no mistake. This only means they'll not use cookies to track you.

Their intention is to modify the thought and behavior.of the population.

See this leaked internal Google video.

This is some seriously fucked up, dystopian-as-hell shit. It should frighten the piss out of anyone with more than two brain cells.

Google must be stopped.
