This feature is, however, rolling out to some users as an experiment. Google said the “copy link to highlight” feature is already available on desktop and Android devices for some users. The feature is “coming soon” to iOS, the company added. Google’s product manager Kayce… Source link

Google is going it alone with its proposed advertising technology to replace third-party cookies. Every major browser that uses the open source Chromium project has declined to use it, and it’s unclear what that will mean for the future of advertising on the web. A couple of weeks ago, Google announced it was beginning to test a new ad technology inside Google Chrome called the Federated Learning of Cohorts, or FLoC. It uses an algorithm to look at your browser history and place you in… Source link

For the longest time, Google made the Android operating system and just gave it away for anyone to use. Based on a modified version of the Linux operating system, Android was introduced in November 2007, and the first Android device went on sale in September 2008. (Anyone remember the HTC Dream?) Android would become the most popular mobile operating system, but for the hardware of other companies, not Google. Fast-forward to 2016, when Google introduced its own Android phones, the Pixel and… Source link

Google today announced that it is moving FeedBurner to a new infrastructure but also deprecating its email subscription service. If you’re an internet user of a certain age, chances are you used Google’s FeedBurner to manage the RSS feeds of your personal blogs and early podcasts at some point. During the Web 2.0 era, it was the de facto standard for feed management and analytics, after all. Founded in 2004, with Dick Costolo as one of its co-founders (before he became Twitter’s… Source link

(KTLA) – Google’s latest Nest Hub smart display can analyze your sleep and help you get a better night’s rest – all without wearing any sort of tracker. I’ve been sleeping with it near my bedside and I now know more about my sleep than ever before. “We were kind of astounded actually with how many people were struggling with sleep,” started Ashton Udall, a Google product manager with Nest.

Over the first half of April 2021, “a switch has silently been flipped in millions of instances of Google Chrome: those browsers will begin sorting their users into groups based on behavior, then sharing group labels with third-party trackers and advertisers around the web,” tweeted the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a nonprofit organization defending privacy and civil liberties in the digital world. The EFF further wrote that while FLoC, Federated Learning of Cohorts, is… Source link

The unique device identifier that Apple uses for personalized ad tracking, the IDFA, has been in the news lately. You may soon be hearing just as much about Google’s equivalent for Android, the Android Advertising Identifier (AAID). Unlike Apple, Google is not voluntarily throttling the third-party tracking of Android users that the AAID facilitates. But it is facing a new privacy complaint in the EU brought by noyb, the group that disrupted EU-US data transfers… Source link
