Google abandons its promise to block third-party cookies in Chrome, leaving billions vulnerable to online surveillance. We need strong privacy legislation to fight back. eff.org/deeplinks/2024/08/goog

@eff "shocked, shocked"...

Come over to the Firefox side, Luke ...

@eff Its OK to delete Chrome!

@eff we surely do

But, in the meantime, duckduckgo.com/ is a great alternative that protects privacy and blocks surveillance

@eff But, Chrome is spyware, isn't it?

@eff but of course.
A promise from a tech gigant like is as much worth as a promise from , or any other right wing party.

@eff If anyone thinks they tried to do this because they care about privacy you're all fools. They wanted to go this route to establish monopoly on tracking.

@eff
1. Use a different browser.
2. Install cookie blockers.
3. Explain to friends and family who just use default apps and settings because they know no better.
4. Repeat step 3 over and over...

@eff thank you for this critical info on the total collapse of data privacy in "For example, if you visitย WebMD's โ€œHIV & AIDS Resource Center,โ€ย you might expect WebMD to get information about your visit to their page. What you probably don't expect, and what third-party cookies enable, is that your visit to WebMD is tracked by dozens of companies you've never heard of. At the time of writing, visiting WebMDโ€™s โ€œHIV & AIDS Resource Centerโ€ setsย 257 third-party cookiesย on your browser"

@eff If you're a techie still using Chrome by choice, you're an asshole.

No excuses, you're helping destroy the web.

@eff

had Chrome ended up blocking 3rd-party cookies as Google promised, you would not get those "ad-blocking" warnings from sites.

Replies saying just-change-browsers (or block third party cookies yourself) miss that point.
