FLoC Block
Prevent Federated Learning of Cohorts aka FLoC ad-targeting code from running in Chrome.
FLoC, short for Federated Learning of Cohorts, is the new mechanism used by Google Chrome to group users into buckets based on their interests. You can read more about it here and why Brave and some other browsers have blocked it here. EFF did some analysis as well.
💡 How does this Chrome Extension help?
If you HAVE to use Chrome but don't like the idea of being grouped into a bucket (aka cohort) based on the websites you visit, this extension is a simple way to prevent FLoC from divulging your "cohort id" to websites. The extension removes document.interestCohort() from every page so that a website cannot get your cohort id.
💡 How do I install this extension?
👉🏼 Download flocblock.zip from https://github.com/ShivanKaul/flocblock/releases/latest. Direct link: https://github.com/ShivanKaul/flocblock/releases/download/v0.0.1/flocblock.zip
👉🏼 Extract extension.
👉🏼 Follow the instructions to load into Chrome.

Developers, it’s time for you to choose a side - Clean up the web!
Will you help rid the web of privacy-invading tracking or be complicit in it?
🚮 Remove third-party scripts from Google, Facebook, etc.
This includes Google Analytics (one of the most prevalent trackers in the world), YouTube videos, Facebook login widgets, etc.
These scripts enable people farmers like Google and Facebook to track people across the web as they go from site to site. If you embed them in your site, you’re complicit in enabling this tracking.
And yes, that absolutely includes fucking Google AMP.
