If the notion of an anonymous identifier strikes you as a contradiction in terms, you aren't alone."It's a persistent identifier, a super cookie," says Jeff Chester, head of the Center for Digital Democracy. "Google will gain more information about users wherever they are, across platforms and with one number. This will be the new way they identify you 24/7."

What will this identifier be like? A file placed on the user’s computer by the browser? If so, the file can be deleted or refused by non-Chrome browsers.
The current model for the internet is stupid. Free, unrestrained access for all, including hackers and nigerian scammers. Entertaining websites that exist only to put ads in front of the user. Extensive machinations behind the scenes to catch the attention of the user with ads.
A pay per service model would be better. It will never happen.

I google one weird thing a day to screw up their data collection.
Use your imagination. They think I'm a transgender minority dwarf that is in the market for 35 gallon drums of Crisco, disposable diapers, and parts for a 64 Rolls Royce.

“Don’t Be Evil”, my ass. To a Leftist, "evil" is defined as "opposition to socialism".
Notice, that when you oppose any aspect of the Leftist agenda in front of a Leftist, they don't calmly debate you and presume you are mistaken, they berate you for being evil.

If they’re admitting they’re “considering” using them, they are already.
