Good for Google (ikr) for basically telling other tracking/ad companies to f*** off.

Also, bad, for the monopoly reasons.

I see iOS folks getting told to use Private Relay(?) all the time (with i-something disabled). How is this any different than that, other than being run by G?

Not going to use it myself, but I guess its sort of a step in the right direction for the uninformed tech-illiterate. The next step would be to show the average person how to do the same thing without G's help.
