Google Confirms Secret Chrome Tracking—How To Stop It
Google has made it clear – secret tracking in Chrome will no longer be tolerated. In a recent announcement, the tech giant revealed that a loophole allowing websites to track your browsing history has been exploited for years. But worry not, dear user, for Google is taking action.
The issue lies in how browsers display previously clicked links. Essentially, if your browser allows any website you visit to show all previously clicked links, that site can gather information on your web history by including multiple links on its page, revealing which ones you’ve visited before. Sounds harmless enough, but rest assured, it’s not.
This “loophole” has been open for years, and Google is finally taking steps to close it. Starting with Chrome 136, the data will be partitioned, limiting what websites can see and display links previously clicked from their own top-level domains or subdomains. This means that when you update your browser, you’ll be safeguarding your browsing history.
So, what does this mean for users? Well, for one thing, no more sneaky tracking! Your browsing habits will no longer be available to the world (or at least, most of it). Yes, some users might notice a slight change in their browsing experience – but trust me, the trade-off is worth it.
