It's slightly disingenuous because Chrome ties in with Google's "web history" feature (which feeds your browsing history into their own data aggregation systems). So basically this just blocks *other* data aggregators (e.g. facebook), meaning only Google can do it.

Apple's Safari on the other hand doesn't building tracking information whatsoever. The history feature in Safari has no secret secondary function, it's for the user and only the user.

Sidebar: For all the geniuses who were like "Foxconn can't make cars blah blah" in other threads:

https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/apple-partner-foxconn-to-form-ev-partnership-with-fisker-1.1567958

The part many miss is that an EV has far fewer moving parts -- actually, it has far fewer parts -- than the old ICs.

And, many of the rest of the parts (like brakes, wheels and tires, suspension parts, etc) are pretty industry standard and can be obtained from third parties.  The original founders of Tesla said that they had planned to buy door handles and such that way but the problem they ran into was that, although they were available to buy, their volumes were too low to attract suppliers.

But, a company like Foxconn in a country like China probably would not face such restrictions.

I suspect that autos and auto manufacturing will be turned on its head over the next couple decades.

Here is one that could do that.  When was the last time you paid less than $5,000 for a new car?

A budget electric vehicle (EV) selling in China for $4,500 (£3,200) is now outselling Tesla's more upmarket cars.

Right back at the very start, when Mark Zuckerberg started "The Facebook" in Harvard, he described all users as being "dumb f***s." He's since said he regrets it...

Do I believe Appleinsider or Bloomberg that China is attempting to use every possible means to spy on Americans, steal our data and IP? Mmm. Even if the finer details are in question when I look at their spying on their own citizens, their murderous treatment of Uighurs, the suppression of democracy in Hong Kong etc. and the idea that China is not trying every possible means to subvert and steal from the US is laughable. And it sounds like Biden will continue Trump’s crackdown on them. It is time to take the pain and break off our business relationships with them and bring manufacturing back to the US and let them try become a superpower without stealing from us. 

Which assumes that the smear campaigns against them were actually true.

I'll wait for factual evidence rather than smear campaigns, and unproven allegations.

When you live in denial, no factual evidence will change your mind. Their treatment of people in HK, Tibet and the Uighers is not a “smear campaign”.

All I hear are allegations coming from smear campaigns.

Had the HongKong protestors did that here Chump would have mowed them down -- unless they were Proud Boys -- then he would have cheered them on.

Very simply, we need to fix the problems here rather than distracting people with the  holier than thou, "Look over there" nonsense.

When the China Hater in Chief supports and incites racists, neo-nazis, misogynists and antisemitics to attack our democracy to install himself as a dictator it shows the hypocrisy of those who support him but attack others.

Perfect. Can’t you see it now - as soon as you have an episode of a fib you start getting inundated with ads for Xarelto....

You are being sarcastic but that’s exactly what could happen. Facebook’s watch will be collecting health data and selling it to big Pharma.
