Google infamous Chrome tracking nightmare has just gotten worse. The company has confirmed critical changes to its promise to stop its browser’s 2.6 billion users being secretly tracked across the web, risking further, significant delay. Chrome’s dominance of the browser market is well understood, with an almost 65% market share. Only Safari offers any competitive scale at around 20%, which means that when you look to non-Apple users, Chrome’s dominance is incredible. The more… Source link
