I hate how rage baity article headlines have become. This isn’t even true. The new “ad platform” integrated into Chrome is better for your privacy than what existed before. It’s a revision of the previous system. If you think Google didn’t track anything in Chrome before, you’re wrong.

Doesn’t change much about the headline being totally wrong

to be clear, I meant that the reasons you’re wrong are discussed in the article. I did not mean that the content of the article is more correct than that of the headline - the headline and article are both are correct. I suggest you read the article
