Perhaps initially, but if you're sent to a page with Google ads, you check your gmail, you use your Android phone, or do any number of ordinary internet activities, and you're identifiable. I seem to recall some research saying you only needed to do about four things on the internet before you analysable. If you run a browse with script blocker, you notice that so many pages have over a dozen different domains running scripts for that page. The world-wide-web was aptly named. Since we're not planning malfeasance, most of us have less concerns about getting on a list (depending on what country you live it). Many have lost their pissed-off-ness about that, but the advertising following you around is annoying, can be considered harassment, and medical issues people read up about can ruin job opportunities, etc. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.88.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 7 15:41:52 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
