New Chrome Privacy Reports Raise Fingerprinting Fears as Edge, Firefox and Brave Offer Built-In Defenses
Google Chrome faced renewed privacy criticism Friday after reports highlighted its lack of built-in defenses against browser fingerprinting, a technique that can track users through device details. Chrome holds 66.7% of the global browser market, according to Statcounter. Rivals like Firefox and Brave offer default fingerprinting protections. Google maintains Chrome is “secure by default” but does not block fingerprinting by default.
