Hm. I was going to write “because I could have been visiting sites that don’t sell my data to Google or other advertisers. And now those fuckers will have this information.” But then, if I use Google Chrome to visit those sites, then it serves me right.
I guess that most advertisers cannot track you everywhere, while your history has the full information.
Anyway, happy Firefox user here, I am just shocked how the Google monopoly on browsers is playing out, especially since I am forced to use Chrome for some websites.
Let me get this straight:
Until now, Google and other advertisers stored cookies on your device and tracked your browsing history on their servers.
Know, everything happens locally and this is somewhat worse then the old way to do it?
How?

Firefox for the win.
How people threw Firefox aside for Google Chrome, at a time when google was known for shitty practices, will boggle my fucking mind.
No. Now Google straight up monopolizes your browser history instead of trying to guess your interests.
Good point.
