"Google is running a Chrome "origin trial" to test out an experimental new tracking feature called Federated Learning of Cohorts (aka "FLoC"). According to Google, the trial currently affects 0.5% of users in selected regions, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, the Philippines, and the United States. This page will try to detect whether you've been made a guinea pig in Google's ad-tech experiment."

Cute.

DoN't u wAnt to Be pARt oF tHE FLoC? ???
Bah said the libs.
I enabled Chrome again last week because I'm unable to log into some online exchanges and I thought it might be a browser issue. Just checked, and I am not Floced apparently.
Funny thing about sites like this is that they use a script to check if a you are exposed to tracking which is more than likely through another script......
Granted I don't do crome but it does give one reason to think, abou how completely oblivious most people are to the number of scripts shoved through their browsers at any given site(this win only runs the native forum script, cloudflares anti DDOS script and twitter for some retarded reason...)
Duck duck go
Browser, fren, not search engine.
They do have a browser for mobile at least, that's what I use. I'm sure it's not the best but it was shocking to see just how many trackers it was blocking. I'll try Brave, thanks for the suggestion.
Ahhh. Not a techy. Sorry.

Easier solution...delete all things Google. There!
I'm not using Chrome -- I'm using Brave. A fren passed this onto me and I thought it was worth sharing. Some pedes may be using it.
I'm using Brave too. But the snip below makes me wonder a little bit. The software is open source but I wonder if any developer has inspected the code for a trojan horse or some other monitoring device that reports back to the mother ship.

Just to be safe, I checked my Brave browser and it said I was ok.
If they couldn't trace the DNA, I would send them a weekly stool sample, sometimes in a paper bag, on fire, at their front door ...
Many of them commute down the Peninsula from SF and already live surrounded by human feces.
But they claim to love it; “authentic city living.”
Mugging too. “It’s so multicultural!”
Google Chrome + Cologuard™ cancer screening = ColoChrome Which sounds a lot like an old Paul Simon song.

You don't need to, CIA collects it from the sewage supply and send it regularly
