Google Chrome pushes ahead with targeted ads based on your browser history
YMMV, based on where you are
Google enables advertisers a look into your browsing history...
You're viewing a single thread.
Someone needs to make an extension that googles random stuff all the time and floods ones history with so much background noise that the history becomes useless.
This already exists btw
I recommend using 'Adnauseam' for Firefox.
It hides ads in addition to clicking them. This generates revenue for the site and also obscures your digital footprint.
Or, you know, just don't use Chrome or Google!
That would be an ecological disaster (figuratively, but still), since all those requests and processor cycles have a cost
What's the watts-per-search of google?
Here's a lead
Any more than regular multiplayer games? No?
it would not replace multiplayer games. it would add to the load. strawman moot point.
What I mean is that the relative resources use is insignificant
Are you proposing to replace multiplayer games with random web requests ?
No. How hard can it be to understand it's a comparison of total load?
How hard can it be to converse nonviolently ?
