A new Chrome Platform Status entry shows Google working on Global Privacy Control support, aligning the browser with California privacy laws and stronger, enforceable opt-out signals.
Chrome is learning to say “No” to data selling – legally this time
Google has quietly taken a major step toward beefing up browser-level privacy. A new entry in the Chrome Platform Status shows that Google and the Chromium project are finally getting ready to support Global Privacy Control (GPC). This is a big deal because it’s a legally recognized signal that tells websites – automatically and right from your browser – to stop selling or sharing your personal data.A privacy signal with legal weight
The idea behind Global Privacy Control is to let you make one single privacy choice that sticks. Once you turn it on, your browser sends a “hush” signal to every site you visit, instructing them not to trade your information. Unlike those annoying cookie banners that pop up on every page, GPC runs in the background.
