The latest Canary version of Chrome has a new feature for ap του FLoC (Federated of Cohorts) στο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης της .

FLoC is part of Google's controversial plan to change its world ς. Η βασική ιδέα είναι να αλλάξει τον τρόπο παρακολούθησης των χρηστών στο Διαδίκτυο. Αντί να παρακολουθεί μεμονωμένους , το FLoC φέρνει which allows advertisers to track users based on groups that have the same interests.

Of course, FLoC is good for Google, but not for Internet users. The EFF called FLoC a great idea, mainly because it is not as private or as good as Google advertises.

Most browser manufacturers based on reject FLoC completely. Brave and Vivaldi are already blocking it flock in their browser.

An option that was missing from Chrome came with Chrome Canary build 93.0.4528.0, as there is a setting for direct control of FLoC.

The setting is not yet visible by default, but you can enable it in Chrome by making a change to the experimental browser features.

Let's see how:

Open the inside chrome://flags/#privacy-sandbox-settings-2 in the browser address bar.
Set the flag to Enabled.
and restart Google Chrome.

The flag is available in all versions of Chrome and has the following description:

Activates the second set of sandbox privacy settings. Requires # privacy-sandbox settings enabled

When enabled, it unlocks the FLoC switch that gives users control over the feature.

Google is conducting experiments in selected areas. Sandbox and FLoC tests can be turned off in the browser depending on the region and automatic participation in the experiment.

To manage FLoC, do the following:

Open the internal chrome address: // settings / privacySandbox
If FLoC is enabled, turn it off.
From the same page you can also enable testing in the Privacy Sandbox.

The only way to be sure that FLoC will not affect your browsing is to use a browser other than Google Chrome.
