@jmaris Afaik, Chrome does not, but there are ways using fingerprinting (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/google-chrome-extensions-can-be-fingerprinted-to-track-you-online/). However, I’d be very surprised if that was the case here. Because they don’t need to resort to such things. They’re already sure effective ad/tracker blockers cannot run in Chrome going forward because they’ve made it impossible for them to do so (see https://www.androidauthority.com/google-chrome-manifest-v3-changes-3386506/).
#NAFO @aral I saw this. Just goes to show we have let Google accumulate way too much power over the web. We're lucky it is just chrome now, and not the chromium engine, but I suspect it is just a matter of time...
@jmaris Indeed. And not just Google. Surveillance capitalists in general.
(And the solution isn’t to have surveillance capitalists of our own in the EU. It’s to ban their surveillance-based, extractive, and exploitative business model and fund technology from the commons for the common good.)
