Chrome has no interest in doing that.

Google uses browser fingerprinting for their ads, and to make sure a real user is requesting their services.

I would trust Safari a lot more to implement something like this.

That is a big reason I stopped using chrome. I block all the cookies and scripts I can but they were still collecting data from other shit and serving me obvious directed ads.


I don't know about Google, but AIUI FB does targeted advertising based on source IPs if there's a very small number of users from a given IP.

As long as they know the source IP, they can implement some form of tracking.
