I have been reading up on Chrome’s new Topics API and FLoC. Can someone explain to me why it is bad? Do the negatives of FLoC also apply to Federated Learning? (I’m not saying that FLoC is good, I’m just confused.)

    Vivaldi removed it from Chromium more than 2 years ago, just like before and after all of Google’s other dirty tricks to track and profile users. No serious browser, Vivaldi, Firefox or Mozilla forks, will enter the Google game.

    @tester1121 so you can rest assured (as long as you don’t use Chrome or EDGE or search with Google)
