    But the advertisers do see the demographics and effectiveness of their ads being served. That’s a pretty good peek into browser histories, even though it’s not as minute as the statement leads you to believe.

    Still, it’s too much.

    Glad I’m not using Chrome.

      But the point being that there is no way for an advertiser to see an individual’s browsing history, nor estimate it with the demographics. You can see what the wide majority is searching for but not an individual.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending Google. I use Google services but I opted out of everything I could. I don’t even have an advertising ID on their servers.
