Google Chrome extensions

UBO must have a filter already that blocks FLoC or will have one soon.

 

It is useless if you block third-party cookies.

Test FLoC:

P.S.

I am not a Chrome expert but it would be interesting if a member of W. who has FLoC enabled tries to disable it with this flag:

Code:

--disable-blink-features=InterestCohortAPI

or (and)

Code:

--disable-features="FederatedLearningOfCohorts:update_interval/10s/minimum_history_domain_size_required/1,FlocIdSortingLshBasedComputation,InterestCohortFeaturePolicy"

 

Chromium 91

and luck for Firefox

another test

Using ugoogled-chromium 89.0.4389.114, there is a directory for floc that is so far empty, and nothing in Flags. it looks as though Google was already preparing in advance for its eventual inclusion. Hopefully the developer of ungoogled-chromium excludes it permanently. I will see what happens when I keep it blocked in my Apparmor profile.

Code:

deny owner /home/*/.config/chromium/Floc/** rw,

 

In my daughter's pc despite the FLoc test is negative,here is the contents of the folder:

 

the better way is to disable floc as Sampei cited above. currently there exist no flag, maybe later, if never i will insert switch.

 

Negative for me as well.

Has it been proven to work? Apparmor will cripple it, guaranteed.

 

That's exactly what I have been doing, but I'm sure you can understand that it's a bit unhandy. That's why I asked about this.

Cool, I'm guessing that uBlock Origin will soon add this feature too.

 

Yep, as posted by Sampei here:


µBlock, a lean and fast blocker

He does caution afterwards not to rely only on the filter.

 

i dont care about other "security" software - it locks down the browser in a not necessary way.

Thank you, Sampei.

 

I am testing two extensions for Chrome - Barrier and Trace.
I have not seen any comments about those extensions.

Improve your ublock filters and settings, there is no need for additional blockers.
