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

    It’s a shitty browser. Wouldn’t use it myself. That doesn’t mean that this isn’t an improvement on what was there before. The world isn’t black and white - and privacy conscious people stay away from Chrome.
