Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

      probably already has. They put things into chromium first, then move them to chrome usually.

      It’s been in there for weeks/months: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/main/components/privacy_sandbox

      Most if not all other Chromium-based browsers have disabled it though.
