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

    Yes, it seems to be trendy to use this as a reason to switch to Firefox, but surely you can just totally disable this new feature in Chrome? The article even tells you how to do this. I guess people are switching as a protest?

      It’s a new feature in the testing phase. Once it’s proven to work correctly (for Google), the option to disable it will be taken away.

          It’s how Google rolls out new features all the time.

          First they ask you. Then it will become a opt-out flag. Then maintaining the switch option will be too much work and it will disappear.

          Honestly what should concern you is that this is the way Chrome is going, not that you are allowed to enjoy it your own way for a little while more.
