Sad to think there will be real people who are fine with the privacy invasive spyware
my ex fiance loved personalized ads because that’s how she found out about products she wanted and i was like… but you didn’t want it before you knew it existed. you were just living your life perfectly fine and now you’re $20 poorer

Haha yup the amount of times I’ve tried to educate friends/family only to feel like banging my head against a brick wall would be more effective are far too many
Hell to the absolute fuckin’ no.
Fuck Chrome anyways
It’s still the most widely used browser, even if it doesn’t individually effect you doesn’t mean it’s not bad
Chrome is already pretty close to this. People still using it are a mystery to me as it is.
There’s also Chrome-derivatives and Chromium and whether those could excise the AI spyware and how deep that gets embedded into it.
Blip. Just like that, they are dead to me. I know our society has decided super invasive data collection for ads is okay… I’ve decided that is another part of the social contract we need to revisit. With prejudice.
never mind about accepting the things we cannot change, it’s time to start changing the things we cannot accept
I still haven’t come down to terms with ads being accepted
Even by CEO standards, why would you state that out loud?
The message is aimed at his customers (ie. his advertisers), not for the potential users of the browser.
Maybe he’s really drank the kool aid and ACTUALLY thinks people want ads and no privacy. Which then, as an investor, might actually be a giant red flag that he’s a complete imbecile.
Obviously, but it’s still not something you want getting out. Like you’d tell your clients at a vendor dinner but wouldn’t put it in an email or video conference.
You are just mistaken about this. They have surveys showing 76% of people say they want personalized (“relevant”) ads. Companies think this is something almost everyone wants.
Maybe I am wrong about this.
Personally, I don’t want any ads, I’m broke I buy as little as I can get away with.
Ads should be illegal
So should subtractions!
while I hate ads as much as everyone else what do you propose funds all the sites people use that are high in operating costs? I doubt many people will pay five bucks a month for every site they use. The internet will just be more retro, which I think would be fine.
capitalism inspiring innovation right before our eyes.
Fuck that guy sucking my time with his ads. If I want to buy a ladder I’ll go online, or go to the store and buy one. Once all this world ending shit dies down let’s get rid of “advertising” as an economic concept. We don’t need any more socio/economic engineering, we need humanity and ecology.
i think some form of advertising is useful no matter the structure of your society: if you have a cool idea for a new product, getting the word out is an important way of making it a reality
what we don’t need is the constant, and ever-present repetitive drone of advertising mundane things that you already know about
I presume this browser is going to have an install base of about 1? Depending on how many testers they have.
Testing is doubting anyways, amirite?
Damn, you’d really think these bozos would have learned to read a room by now, you know?
Nearly half of the country is dumb enough to support Trump. I think he is reading the room.
Firefox forks and uBlock Origin all day.

I want to say a thing that I want to happen to this ceo but it would get me banned.
Just say “I wish for this man, his ideas and his life work to slide into disregard and irrelevance and become nothing more than a footnote on idiocy”.
“Also, may he be abducted by aliens, whisked away to a distant galaxy, and put on permanent display in an alien zoo as an example of the greed of homo sapiens.”
And give him free atention? Nah.
Do you think this guy would avoid saying a thing? No, he’d come right out and tell you if he wanted you dead. As long as he could provide your with personalised ads in the afterlife.

Send more blue shells
Sent to the glue factory?
Send more blue shells?
Srinivas believes that Perplexity’s browser users will be fine with such tracking because the ads should be more relevant to them.
I can’t speak for anyone else but no, I would not be fine with that
ad tracking is only as personalized as the company running the ads
If I’m advertising fake nails, it’s personalized if you like fake nails and I advertise to fake nail fans, but if I advertise to all femme people - then it’s no longer personalized, and advertisers tend to do the latter.
