The problem is with Chromium.

They recklessly add any random API with very little thought given to privacy and security. Which is why advertisers have been able to create browser fingerprinting that can be close to 99% accurate.

All cheered on by fools who think Safari and Firefox are stagnant by being more careful and pushing for standards.

Isn’t this all by design? Google’s not going to take Apple-like steps to stop tracking and fingerprinting.

They do think about privacy, they just want you to have none.
