No, Google! Vivaldi users will not get FloC’ed.

I think that in general the ads are overvalued, I don't believe in their efficiency, given the over-saturation that we experience every day, not only on the Internet, but in daily life, in every corner there are posters and illuminated advertisements, in Newspapers, television, radio ..., no one notices them and they do nothing but annoy.
If a product is good, people will use it, if not, the ads also do not serve to confirm something else.
People, if they need something, go to the store, to the car dealership, to online stores, they look for what they need and buy it if it corresponds to their needs, there is no more.>Laptop ACER, AMD Ryzen, GPU AMD Radeon RAM 16GB, SSD 512GB -Win11 Home 64 v24H2| Vivaldi last stable|

Ohhh, Man! I can't believe I completely missed one huge, major component! Yes, I got rid of Chrome a/w/a Chromium on my Linux-run computer, and I am trying to get rid of my Gmail account (which I am open to suggestions about) but I have been using Google Rewards and buying some Google Play Cards to use like real money for games, movies and such. I can't remember how many times I have answered dozens of questions for a few cents here and there. I was actually suckered into the idea that the questions were always from anonymous (to me, but not the other way around) companies that wanted to run surveys. And there are. In fact any of us can pay Google to use Google Rewards for any kind of surveys that you can direct almost any way you want. But I have been answering so many questions for a couple of years! Hmm, actually...I can never remember my blood type or the Rh Factor match (the positive or negative part of the blood types). Yeah, I mean by now, Google has to know that as well.
Wow. Sorry, I am still just blown away by my stupidity. -
@jamesbeardmore: Totally agree! Do you know how difficult it is to change the WebView Implementation from Chrumb to AngryDroid System Webview (which is trading one bad for another as Geegle owns AngryDroid anyway!) but it took over 10 tries and I have auto updates disabled but Chrumb took liberties anyway.

@dude99 i am not saying Google is good, just that FloC is easy to change or randomize, this, you shouldn’t be so worried
-
@code3 , you can use the system that CyDec uses, which blocks nothing, delivers everything that the pages request, but all random fake values. This is what is normally expressed with the middle finger.

great job, guys. Appreciated!

@Catweazle I would like to but it has a limited free plan that seems to break too many websites. Maybe I will try it again, instead of trace, which is not as good as I thought. I also suggest ScriptSafe, time zone spoof based on IP, and Font Fingerprint Defender if you have strange fonts.
-
Thanks!!
-
@code3 , make no mistake, Trace is very good, but just like CyDec breaks pages, if you activate all the blocking it has.
With everything activated in Trace, for example in YT you will only see a blank screen. Also in Trace you have to find a compromise.
Ahora como lo tengo configurado, no rompe hasta ahora ninguna página, pero ya no hay Google header y YT ni siquiera guarda mi historial. -
"FLoC does have very serious implications for people who live in an environment where aspects of their personality are persecuted — be it sexuality, political viewpoint, or religion. All can become a part of your FLoC ID."
Yikes! I guess all I have to add to that is: "It can't happen here" are the words of a fool! So don't think this doesn't endanger you, just because you live in the West or something.

To the point where I am conscious of the rare times I see an advert and realise it has actually informed me of some product I wasn't previously aware of. That really doesn't happen very often.
The received-wisdom that every company must do it and that it's essential to the consumer society doesn't seem to match up with the amount of wasted time, money and effort (and annoyance) it sucks up.

@mossman I suspect ads are targeting the whales (see definitions #5 and #7), not the common man. In other words: That ads are going after the people who impulsively spend lots of money.
Maybe for online purchases, but I don't see how that applies for the average TV ad for cleaning products etc.

Humans could now be defined as sheep. I for one have no desire to be in a FLoC about to be fleeced.
Money the root/route of all evil.

Thanks, Vivaldi team!

It is exactly for stances like these that I am a Vivladi user and will likely remain so going into the future. Thanks you for your efforts.

Also WordPress will block Google FloC just like DuckDuckGo and Brave:
