Or don't use Chrome?

I don't know. It was just an idea.

that is the best advice, but some are unwilling to change so at least give them some protection

Real hard to justify using it if privacy is your thing.

Firefox, or LibreWolf.

If you don't want Google to see what you're doing then don't use Google products

Mfers be like hey look at this starving bear, I’m going to cuddle it but take precautions like wrap my arms up in toilet paper!

When will people realize none of those settings mean shit because there’s no way to verify they actually do what they say they do.

And Google has zero credibility just like every megacorp.

If you use any product designed by Google, it’s raping you for every bit of data it can and no amount of “hey but I turned off targeted ads” is making a single iota of difference.
