    It’s a twitter image that says,

    “For anyone unaware, Google Chrome is currently rolling out an update that tracks your interests based on browsing history, then share them with 3rd party websites. The notification page makes it sound like they added a new privacy feature, but in actuality they automatically enrolled you into their tracking system and you have to go and manually opt out.”

    There’s a screenshot of a pop up from Chrome that says, “Enhanced ad privacy in Chrome” with some marketing spin on how you get more choice on the types of ads you see.





  • Signal is a great alternative to WhatsApp. Images sent aren’t going to be full quality and will go through some compression of course, but the final sent picture is still going to be leaps and bounds over the garbage that WhatsApp sends. When going through old pictures on my camera roll, I can instantly tell what was sent/saved over WhatsApp compared to Signal due to just how pixelated it gets.
