It all goes back to Proctor & Gamble. They sell you stuff and drive much of the advertising and tracking technology on the web. They have been at influence buying since people yelling from soapboxes along the riverfronts. They are in some part behind just about every influence and online trackin technology today.
Gross.
This internet was a mistake. We need to burn it down and start over.
This is all organized crime at this point. A lesson in being nice to some people.
I do agree but the internet is not the source of turning everything to shit currently.
The internet was great until the pointy shoe brigade got too much power in tech companies.

(long story)That’s neat
ChatGPT doesn’t know shit about me since I’ve never used it.
Hopefully uBO gets this into its default filters soon. Even if you don’t use chatgpt, non-chatgpt sites embed a tracker.
I think on Firefox multi account containers add-on + temporary containers add-on should mitigate this sort of tracking.
better : block or delete the cookies best : don ’ t use chatgpt
Is it a new tracker? Does it apply to the app only?
As per the article, it is by itself not a new technology. Meta has been using this for years and is standard in the industry. So I’d wager most respectable browsers would have tracking prevention that stops this.
What is new, and what this article talks about, is that ChatGPT can attach your browsing habits to things you’ve shared with ChatGPT itself. As in, possibly very private details about you and your life.
