Google's browser not only got new chrome, it now also uses keeps track of all websites you visit to generate a topic list for ads that is shared with websites directly. Nobody asked for that.

Is this being baked into Chromium itself or just Chrome? If it's Chromium itself I guarantee you a lot of the various third-party Chromium browsers are going to jump ship, or remove that from their builds.
