On: Google has been rolling out Chrome's “Enhanced Ad Privacy” via a popup

And with the new system, you can do that by simply turning it off. The point is that now you can turn it off.

And by simply turning off you mean:

1. Go to: chrome://settings/adPrivacy

2. Click Ad topics

3. Turn off toggle.

4. Click back Arrow.

5. Click Site-suggested ads

6. Turn off Toggle.

7. Click back arrow.

8. Click Ad measurement

9. Turn off toggle.

10. Repeat the same on every computer you have Chrome installed on.

11. Figure out if this is also an issue on mobile browsers installed, and if not, when it will be rolling out to disable it then.

12. Hope that an update doesnt flip the toggles.

That's a matter of UX. Again, the point is that now you can turn it off. This was not possible before, full stop. That's what I mean by it being a step in the right direction: it finally gives you central authority on what sites know about you.
