Re: Navigation privée ?

En même temps, ce n'est pas parce que Google est l'auteur du navigateur qu'on utilise qu'il est légitime à espionner les sites qu'on visite. Actuellement, il le fait, mais c'est tout à fait discutable.

Cf. Google’s Privacy Sandbox—We’re all FLoCed (qui était passé dans les liens récemment) :

But to the typical consumer, the first party is not the web browser they are using, but the web site they are visiting. Think of it this way. When I call my dad using Verizon, I assume my dad and I are the only people in the conversation. The two of us are the first parties. I did not call my dad and Verizon; there aren’t three of us on the call. But under Google’s rules, Verizon is a first party to the call, and they should be able to advertise to us based on the restaurants or movies—or health or financial issues—we discussed on our call.

So let’s follow the phone call analogy to the web. Let’s say I sit down and "call" the New York Times using my Chrome web browser—HTTP instead of my phone. Here, the consumer considers the New York Times a first party—just like when I call my dad. The New York Times also considers the consumer its first party (i.e. customer). It’s ridiculous to consider Google a first party to this interaction just because I am using Chrome, even if the New York Times hires Google to place ads or track analytics on its website. Google, just as Verizon, is just a service provider. Google could ask consumers for opt-in consent to be treated as a first party, but consumers are as likely to do that as they are to consent to Verizon listening in to their phone calls. So, Google just anoints itself a first party anyway. After all, it’s Google’s sandbox.
