Judge Yvonne Gonzalez-Rogers denied Google’s push for a summary judgment in a lawsuit over the way it tracked internet activity even after users switched to ‘Incognito mode.’
I need to de-Google my life.
Or wait to get your portion of that settlement money, which would probably amount to a whopping $3.00 per person.
I’m sick of seeing the Google Chrome and “Sign in with Google” pop-ups.
How do I get rid of those?!? The options they list in the docs don’t exist of course, and adblocker isn’t working. Fuck off, Google!
Switch to Firefox!
I’m using Firefox. I still get the pop-ups. I’m also using NextDNS and uBlock Origin.
i use privacy badger from the EFF peeps, along side ublock origin. it works well enough for me.
It would be interesting to see them be made to actually delete shit they allegedly shouldn’t have.
I don’t even sort of see how this particular case has merit when chrome outright tells you that incognito mode means nothing at all to any website you visit, but “torch everything illegitimate” sounds fun as hell to enforce.
So under a month’s worth of profit for them. Weeee.
oops, just poosted this here. We need a search post / link feature. (Yes, that’s Hard).
