Google’s new policy tracks all your devices with no opt-out
www.digitaltrends.com
Google has implemented the same strategy they once called wrong and subverts user choice. The tracking has begun and it's happening without your permission.

Came across this article and it got me thinking, are there any simple ways to defeat advanced tracking methods (fingerprinting, tracking pixels, etc.)?

Obviously you could go the Tor on a virtual machine route, or a non persistent set up like TAILS, but what about a browser that’s able to give say, a 80% solution?

I work in the security industry and am always looking for the solution that is simple enough that its palatable to a client (not asking to change your whole lifestyle, just push this button) but also relatively effective.

    Google:

    They’ve been asking us not to track them with cookies, so we’re tracking them with fingerprints

    Surely the gdpr has something to say about this. Or did the US forget the rest of the wold exists again?

      Exactly, Google even advocated against the use of more intrusive tracking technology like fingerprinting stating it was too intrusive, I’ll be the first to say I’m pro capitalist (if you can work hard and get rich, power to you), but when you are willing to invade the literal physical privacy of people who do not even want your products, it calls into question the legitimacy of your company.
