Topics essentially works like this: rather than using cookies to track people around the web and figure out their interests from the sites they visit and the apps they use, websites can ask Chrome directly, via its Topics JavaScript API, what sort of things the user is interested in, and then display ads based on that. Chrome picks these topics of interest from studying the user’s browser history.
Isn’t this completely immoral? They are literally stealing the users private browsing history and uses it to boost their own profits.
Edge is a chromium browser, too. It has been for some time now.
Edge is Chromium but it has been substantially altered. Brave and Vivaldi are much closer to Chromium than Edge is, and that’s not a compliment to Edge.
