So instead of cookies which can be blocked or deleted relatively simply there's spyware baked directly into the browser. How is this an improvement for the user?
Wrong question. You should be asking, how is this an improvement for owners and shareholders? There’s money to be made somehow, right?
OC forgot that we're the product
It finally convinces you to stop using chrome, so an improvement.
Will Chromium-based browsers also have this "feature", or can they turn it off (and will they)? Or is firefox the only safe alternative left?
I use a mix of browsers, but I don’t think all chromium get this automatically- most are forks from further upstream I think? Vivaldi is my favorite non-chrome chromium.
It's not, it just blocks others from tracking you, giving Google a stronger monopoly
The user? Why would Google care about the user? They don't even care about their advertisers.
Its an improvement for Google as only they can easily get to that data and not any random website.
