Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

    Give it time. Greed is greed, just a matter of time. Personally I’m back to use the old carrier pigeon. Kinda slow but probably still better than dialup

    Edit: Either y’all don’t get this was a joke, or haven’t been alive long enough to watch your hero’s die.

    Either way, fuck Google, sorry to rain on the parade

      And soon, the carrier pigeon breeders will start tagging them with tracking chips…

      Carrier pigeons are still faster than the internet, tested again this year to prove it

        Absolutely not. I’ve seen what you people think is funny.
