        I thought privacy as per Google meant that it will trade your data with everyone interested, just will not show them your name/phone number/address (which also quite conveniently makes Google the single point of contact with you and allows to charge more)

      Yeah they analyze your browser history and then generate labels of things you’re presumably interested in and then share it with any website that asks. Privacy friendly alright.

      If google is doing this, they have a much better way to track them.

      They do. It’s the new “Ad Privacy” features built into Chrome that tracks every webpage you visited (locally) and then sends your profile out to advertisers when you visit a page.
