The “strong capabilities” means tracking/fingerprinting prevention. So yeah you might not see ads but the ads see you.

The fact they can do this without pushback is pretty clear sign this will only continue.

I'm fine with ad people knowing that. I think people can overact a bit. I mean do you feel the need to wear a mask and disguise when going to shops and cafes in case the shops and cafes see where you go?

I'm not fine with that data collection at all. It's not even just about ad people, it's about the larger accumulation and sharing of data.
