Google has said privacy controls on Chrome will be extended to tackle fingerprinting and cross-site cookies. The company also plans to make it easier for users to share information with other websites that use the same cookie. It said the move would mean the users could better choose what happens to their data. Google also said it will “aggressively” cut the use of fingerprinting, which tries to get around a user’s cookie controls. The company added that it planned a browser extension to deal with open-source ad transparency.
