GoogleSellsAds

Or anything Google for that matter. I see a lot of praise on Lemmy for their Pixel phones, but it wouldn't surprise me if they eventually find there was a backdoor in their firmware all this time. Yes of course, I can not prove that right now, but this news about Google Chrome isn't news for no reason. Don't trust anything Google if you care about privacy, it is literally their business model (selling targeted ads).

If you use anything Google, you are the product. This has been pretty obvious since the early 2000's, yet people dive right into all the crap they release.

You're too smart for this site. I too love taking trains across both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans!

With the direction FF is taking it's gonna be forks for now.

The only thing that held me back from using LibreWolf over Firefox was that it disabled (automatic) dark mode on websites. I understand this is part of the "resist fingerprinting" configuration. There's a workaround now ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1732114).

In about:config update these 3 preferences:

• privacy.resistFingerprinting = false
• privacy.fingerprintingProtection = true
• privacy.fingerprintingProtection.overrides = +AllTargets,-CSSPrefersColorScheme

Are they selling snap beans?

Google exists for selling ads. All their tech exists to support them doing just that. You're the product.

Thanks for the info, now I can confidently carrion.

Google's core business is selling ads. So anything that aligns with selling ads is the path they'll take. Their users are the product.

Gotta keep that rage up.

Are you seriously that dumb that you're comparing selling ads in a store (the App Store) with selling ads on every other inch of the internet?

There is quite some difference between selling ad-space in a store and having ads as your one and only business model. You wouldn't know of course and that's why you are a Google fanboy.

MS 2 decades late to Google's ad game.

Most people here have a device in their pocket with either Google hardware or Google software. If even the nerds with a passion against ads can't not buy something from the biggest ad company, who can?

Great, let me contact Apple to roll out my advertisement strategy.

Oh damn, it's only about ads in their app store. They must make a killer now they're in Google's market of web advertising.

I too prefer that boogershampoo. No way people ain't messing with it.

People walk around with Google in their pockets. It's the cheapest and easiest option. They voluntarily install that spyware on top of other spyware.

Are you dumb? You did the same thing.

Eat the ads then.

People don't hate Google as much as they should. It's cringeworthy how much they promote this ad company on this platform. They don't even realze themselves they got comprised.

I mean, you're right if by humans you mean kids.

Depending on the subject, I encounter more and more threads with content. And billions and billions and billions of results that are either spam or written by unprofessionals.

The smart crowd is not there anymore. The smart crowd that once was there, has removed the content that Reddit was worth visiting for. Let the Googzz have them and sell ads to each other.

Reddit was already invaded by bots before the API. I'd say it was most obvious right before the time Trump was elected.

Sounds like you're too smart to be on Lemmy. Sorry I offended you by spelling the name of your favorite ad company wrong.

Big corporate (Valve) is behind it. Not sure why people expect something good to happen. A business is gonna business.

No, only Google has backdoors that are coming to light tome after time. Stop defending them Google ad fan boi.

Google fan boy. Good luck promoting that shitty ad company.

That's pretty optimistic, as tons of power users are still eating that Windows crap, too.

There are none of those. You're just lying now. Google ad boy.

That sounds suspiciously similar to the kind of gatekeeping Apple is doing.
