A better description of how it might work. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021...users-for-ads/
But, one thing I have read is that blocking would not apply to apps or phones, so unless you just use Chrome on the web you will still be endlessly tracked. What I wonder is why advertisers waste their money on this stuff. I rarely see an ad that I am interested in. Mostly just scammy clickbait stuff. |
