Someone just pointed me to this article about Google's new Federated Learning of Cohorts which is their new way to track users for advertising by browser fingerprinting: https://paramdeo.com/blog/opting-your-website-out-of-googles-floc-network
This made me wonder if Chromium in Gentoo disables this FLoC by default. I hope so. At least you should offer a use flag to disable it.

Btw I'm not exactly sure if this is the right category, but it certainly is a privacy concern.
