Google Topics and FLEDGE are more attempts from Google to put lipstick on the privacy-invasion pig. We recommend ditching Chrome, but if you must use it, block Topics & FLEDGE w/our extension, which helps protect your privacy holistically in Chrome. https://t.co/KIGhwO8sLU — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: DuckDuckGo's Chrome extension now blocks Google's new tracking method "Topics" and new ad re-targeting method FLEDGE. Google says they're better for privacy, but the simple fact is tracking is tracking, no matter what you call it. https://t.co/r9GFLdXmTT — PolitiTweet.org
