Google is enabling Chrome real-time phishing protection for everyone

  • Can I assume you're talking about the new ad system? I see a lot of concern over it, but no real explanations on why it's worse than the current cookie-based identification system. Can you enlighten me?

    • Google Chrome now targets ads based on your browser history, here's how to turn that off

    Jump

  • It sounds like Google could have done a much better job announcing and explaining how the new system works. This is a definite improvement in privacy over the "cookie" standard in advertising. I don't know if turning this off just keeps you locked-in to using cookies, but it doesn't turn off identification like a lot of you seem to imply.

    To those of you out there not using an adblocker: this new system eliminates the use of advertiser-based cookies. All your identification is based on a minimal number of categories based on your browsing history. It doesn't send your actual history to an advertiser, just some (5, I think?) topics that have held your interest within the last few weeks. I'm sure there's a list of these keywords sent to the ad-server so it can decide what to send. I don't really care what they are, because I'm in the next group.

    To those of you out there using Firefox and/or an adblocker: carry on, nothing to see here. Keep promoting your favorite non-Chrome based browser and adblocker.

    • Fatal shooting of University of South Carolina student who tried to enter wrong home 'justifiable,' police say

    Jump

  • It doesn't say if the people in the home ever told him to stop. Did he know there were people in there? If he did, why did he break the window?

  • I agree with your sentiment, but the quote is from Corolanius. Marcius (a Roman general) is cursing his own men for retreating from an assault upon an enemy city. He's very upset.

  • I'm sure that's fine. Most homes have unisex bathrooms.

    • Painted nails have the same vibe and uglyness as painted teeth.

  • Long nails do it to me. If you have long nails I assume you sit on your ass all day doing fingernail shit.
