   “the tech giant employed its own tracker, called Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC).”
   🕸️
   “FLoC runs in your browser, and by using Chrome normally, you would never know that it is tracking your clicks and searches. Looking at your search history from the past week, it assigns you to a group with similar people worldwide. It then captures other data and compares it to the people in the group.
   🕸️
   In simpler terms: it tracks your searches and habits and groups you with other like-minded people. This makes it easier for Google to launch targeted ads to specific people. It creates a browsing fingerprint and shares your ID with everyone you interact with.”

   March 3, 2021 “We’ve launched Am I FLoCed, a new site that will tell you whether your Chrome browser has been turned into a guinea pig for Federated Learning of Cohorts or FLoC, Google’s latest targeted advertising experiment.”
   🕸️
   “The third-party cookie is dying, and Google is trying to create its replacement.” “We emphatically reject the future of FLoC. That is not the world we want, nor the one users deserve. Google needs to learn the correct lessons from the era of third-party tracking and design its browser to work for users, not for advertisers.”

   🕸️
   “For end-users, the easiest choice when it comes to opting out of FLoC’s data collection is simply not to use Chrome. However, a Chrome Extension was released by DuckDuckGo that disables FLoC tracking within the browser. If this extension will be disabled by Google or simply ignored by the browser itself is yet to be seen.”
