   Google first came up with Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC), which allowed Google to share individual data with advertisers. Everyone hated it, so now Google's rolling out their Topics API, which tracks the topics of the sites you visit in an attempt to gauge your interests. The linked article shows how / where to turn it off in Chrome's settings if/when it goes live for you. Early today I checked and it was off -- checking just now it had been turned on.

   Google's approach to privacy and data tracking has indeed been a topic of concern for many users. The introduction of FLoC and now the Topics API reflects their ongoing efforts to balance user privacy with targeted advertising. It's crucial for individuals to stay informed about these changes and take control of their privacy settings if they wish to limit data sharing and tracking. The ability to easily disable these features in Chrome's settings is a positive step towards giving users more control over their online privacy and data. However, users should remain vigilant and regularly review their browser settings to ensure they align with their privacy preferences.
