Google's Changing Online Ads In A Big Way (FLOC)

adguard无所畏惧

Your browser history is nothing compared to browser fingerprinting which identifies the browser, can't tell who you are exactly off course until you use Gmail and fingerprint your self, via the combination of all services and browser extensions utilised

just use adblock lol

it terrifies me that google perfectly knows my values and probably disagrees with them, when will they try to "persuade" me to "think right"?

So rather than having a overwhleming large amount of data about individuals we now have a professional insanely efficient profiling tool that allows us to profile all "future criminals", all "mentally unstable", all "political dissidents"...
Holy moly... am i glad i stopped using chrome.. jesus christ the future is scary

This sounds great. Good shit.

There they go hoarding data again! 😏 lol

I MISS TV WHERE WE ALL GOT THE SAME ADS AND NOBODY KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT ME

The "way" they track our activity is not STOPPING tracking our activity therefore our privacy is completely SHOT!

Google will just "FLOC" it up lol. 😆

so basically Google wants to monopolize ad consumer tracking since they'll be the ones with key, got it.

giving your information to third party webstes is dangerous but today we are so dependent on google and it didn't done anything to users data before . We should and may be need to trust google
For me at least google is trust worthy.

Cohorts form legions

FLOC aka best dating app ever

I think the internet said: "FLoC You Google"

So big company's won't make me feel special anymore 😪

Oh lord, these "cohort" things are quickly going to turn into watchlists since the internet is mostly just cats with wonky fetishes.

the subtitles are broken

lol more like a way to get round ad blockers.

From personal experience, I have yet to see if any of this really works.
Even now I get absolutely no personalized ads, and neither do my friends, with who we have vastly different interests.
I am not sure if this is a country specific thing, or advertisers really do not care and just want their ads to be seen by as many people as possible, regardless of collected data.
There is also the mental factor that can make one think they are being tracked.
You see, when you have something on your mind, anything related to it starts to become more and more noticeable, without it ever becoming more common.
And I am sure I will never notice those changes.

Floc seems like an inside joke of google which is to mock people as a flock of sheep

Hi techquickie, is there a way to not get subtitles Vietnamese please. Is this just me or some misconfiguration?

I don't use chrome... I use firefox with uBlock Origin... problem solved.

I've been using Firefox for quite some time now.

"Google's new ad system can potentially be used by websites to track who you are! Anyways get this thing that saves all your passwords and favorite websites, it's very handy"

All the passwords in one place... What if that gets hacked...?

Google's bastards will just use 7.8 billion cohorts to get around the EU cookie law.

Will floc get rid of cookies?
AKA if I opted in then cookies go away or if I opt-in I'm just giving the internet/ advertisers more information about me

:D with a bit engineering you could get super specific information about everyone in a floc when only one person of this floc enters your website

"Tired of 1000 websites tracking you with cookies? No worries, we'll track you and give the information to 1001 websites!" -Google

Hey guys I am a young Brazilian fan that watches almost everything from all of your channels (linus' channels dont know) and I know a lot of english and a lot of course of my native Brazilian language, also I lived in Italy for a decade and was pretty good with their language too, I dont have a job and my Country is like a black hole to live in, I want to work for you more than anything, I could do subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese and Italian, for ALL I MEAN ALL of your videos, since dollars are worth a lot more in my country 1U$D= 6R$ I could ask 10 dollars for language in one video, hope is not a bold statement I just need a job and love technology, pcs, medias, entertainment. Hope someone sees my comment, much love and props from Ji-Paraná (Rondônia) Brasil !!!

Ah yes, a cohort. A word I've never heard before 2020. Now it's just used everywhere.

Fun fact: Approximately 20% of this video about ads, is an ad.

solution?







ditch chrome lmao

So google itself will still know everything about you, and have your personal profile documented, but the only difference is that it wont give that whole info to others, it will keep it for itself. Lol.

nordvpn is really really bad its slow and clunkie and they never give me my refund

Or I can just use Firefox and disable 3rd party cookies.

Basically if you don't want to tracked, just don't have a smart phone

So, they are still following us? Got it. They will know what you browse, thats the only way to put you into a cohort

but now google has just FLoC'd you for liking tech quickie, lol

Qubes here i come...

Google isn't worth supporting anymore. I've removed as much of their tech as I could, and DO NOT use their browser for anything. FLoC is just more obfuscating by Google.

And who says that advertisers won't use floc AND regular trackers

Cool !

Drone over Linus was the best

mozilla all the way baby!

If this works, i whould switch to chrome.

ohgodno GOOGLE PLEASE dont put me in a COHORT with the FURRIES because I googled a POKEMON THAT ONE TIME!
