Never used Chrome, and don't use Meta apps... and when I did, I did not give them any real information. I'm disgusted by the number of people giving real personal information to these assholes. "Open"AI insisted that you give them a real, functioning phone number to use ChatGPT. No goddamned way.
A bit wishy washy. They are still tracking you, just not as effectively as before.
I don’t know anyone that works at Meta, so I’m hoping that someone here could answer this for me- What makes employees there feel good (or at least okay) about doing stuff like this? You're spying on people, no? Surveilling ordinary people, not enemy combatants or foreign militaries? Perhaps a friend of a friend or even a family member? This kind of thing is so creepy and disturbing to me, not that it’s anything new…
There is a data pipe directly into the PNNL from Meta. Do your research!

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Except for non-negotiables (eg: bill paying, government websites, etc.) a website that fully breaks when blocking js is just a worthless site which is not worth my time.
Anubis ( https://anubis.techaro.lol ) requires Javascript and is required to view some otherwise static websites now because AI scrapers are ruining the internet for small websites.

> What makes employees there feel good (or at least okay) about doing stuff like this? A big house, a fast car, more money. Where else in SV are you going to go anyway? Every company does the same thing.
That's like saying mechanical engineers can only work at Raytheon or Lockheed Martin. Or biotech people can only work at Purdue Pharma.
There are companies in SV who are making products for actual users. Just look outside adtech.
