In the interests of fighting terrorism and child pornography… oh wait, no not those, in the interests of improving your own security the following changes are being made. It’s corporate BS as we all know Google’s big business is selling ads, and showing to advertisers who they can target. It’s the same with Facebook, which is why Facebook and Google Search are just becoming a worse and worse experience for so many users.
On both you need to wade past all the adverts, and feeds get so cluttered and confusing. It’s a good reason why Google should not be able to sell adverts and run a search business at the same time.
The linked article below gives some pointers on what to try to make your browser experience a bit better in the future (yes, including using Firefox, which is not affected by any of these changes by Google).
We’ll still need to see how badly the alternative Chromium based browsers will be impacted.
