"Rather than go full nuclear on the tracking, Google came up with a compromise solution to the cookie debacle. The company plans on using the browser to group together internet users who have similar browsing patterns. In turn, businesses can serve relevant ads to these clusters of like-minded people, removing the need to track users individually."
No thanks. Use Brave instead

Pretty good read.
The capabilities of today must be pretty far advanced. What do you think they can do?

Well, with option #2, they get to keep this magic eraser that they can use on pretty much whoever.

I used to use Piwik in the past and really enjoyed it. Now I'm wanting to find something that does it all server side, and pulls data from access logs. I don't need all the fancy graphs and analytical data, but being able to chart out traffic/visits/popular pages and basic stuff like that would be nice.

Brave is at the forefront of browser privacy, bringing fingerprinting shield and tor browser to the non-techies and their (upcoming?) p2p protocol will be so awesome.

I doubt it. 45% of registered republicans supported the actions of demonstrators who stormed the capitol.
They have a big national security problem on their hands. There are two main ways they could deal with this.
-
Thoroughly investigate the 2020 election and make real improvements to ensure that people have confidence in the results of future elections. Allow people to have more freedom and stop passing unconstitutional laws.
-
Label anyone who questions the validity of the result a terrorist or potential terrorist. Ruin the lives of demonstrators. Increase domestic surveillance so that if anyone takes it upon himself to water the tree, he can be prevented from taking out anyone too important.
So far it's clear that they prefer option 2.

Brave is again at the forefront of privacy protection. It made me aware of finger printing, then added Tor private browsing, and now this!

I bought black masking tape (for laptops) and black duct tape (needed on slippery touch screens) just for this purpose. It's much harder for someone to notice, so I don't have to explain myself.

When you log into most corporate laptops, you're greeted with a page of legalese which says the laptop is company property and subject to monitoring at all times. I doubt this widespread practice is illegal aka a lawsuit liability.

Makes me feel less weird to hear that he does it too. I've always done it but it makes me feel like a paranoid weirdo just because no one else I know does it, even though I know I'm right.
But that's how it is with all this privacy stuff. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you're not being watched.

Reply to Privacy tips for a android phone? (Galaxy s10) by MrBlack
If you have a Snapdragon chip (Qualcomm) then you're SOL regarding custom ROMs. You can try Pinephone or some other GNU/Linux-based phone if you're doing a flat-out device switch. If you don't want to be a guinea pig for a Linux phone though (mobile Linux now = desktop Linux in the early 2000s).
