“Google” explains how it plans to protect “Chrome”

 “Google” has officially announced plans to phase out third-party cookies as part of the “Privacy Sandbox” initiative.

“Google” explains how it plans to protect “Chrome”

This approach will be implemented in phases and will begin testing 1% of users in early 2024, followed by a more extensive elimination of third-party cookies during the third quarter of next year.

External cookies are tracking codes that are placed by websites and are used primarily for online advertising and tracking user habits on different websites. They help advertisers create profiles of users' interests, after which they can offer them more specific ads.

However, these same external cookies can also be used to track the user's browsing habits, leading to a loss of privacy.

“Google's” decision to eliminate third-party cookies will represent a significant step forward in protecting online privacy. The process aims to reduce the tracking of users across the network, while allowing the most essential online services to remain easily accessible.

During the testing period, “Google” will introduce workarounds and controls that users can apply to cookies that are exception on certain sites in “Chrome”, so that there are no interruptions.

The company plans to implement a more secure approach for “Chrome” and expects other browsers to implement similar strategies.

Heating oil

Heating oil is any petroleum product or other oil used for heating; a fuel oil. Most commonly, it refers to low viscosity grades of fuel oil used for furnaces or boilers use for home heating and in other buildings. Home heating oil is often abbreviated as HHO. Most heating oil products are chemically very similar to diesel fuel used as motor fuel; motor fuel is typically subject to higher fuel taxes. Many countries add fuel dyes to heating oil, allowing law enforcement to check if a driver is evading fuel taxes. Since 2002, Solvent Yellow 124 has been added as a "Euromarker" in the European Union; untaxed diesel is known as "red diesel" in the United Kingdom. Heating oil is commonly delivered by tank truck to residential, commercial and municipal buildings and stored in above-ground storage tanks ("ASTs") located in the basements, garages,...

Artificial intelligence: Google's new model 'will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests'

Google has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that it claims will "answer questions more carefully" because its "functionalities are more advanced". AI content generators sometimes invent things that developers call hallucinations.  The new Gemini model has been tested to solve problems in 57 areas, including mathematics and the humanities. "This is the new era of artificial intelligence," said Sundar Pichai, head of Google.  Earlier this year, Google launched its own version of the chatbot – Bard – calling it an "experiment".  During the presentation, the program made an error when answering the space question.  Google claims that the new model is "the most capable" and will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests.  Gemini can recognize image, text and sound, but it is not a product in itself.  It is a program that will be integrated into existing Google tools, including search, but also into the Bard...

Advantages and disadvantages of solar power energy

The technology that is utilized to collect and convert solar energy is known as solar energy. In 2011, less than 0.1 percent of the world's energy consumption was met by the technology. Many people are familiar with 'photovoltaic cells,' often known as solar panels, which are used in items like spacecraft, roofs, and handheld calculators. Semiconductor materials, similar to those used in computer chips, are used to make the cells. Electrons are dislodged from their atoms when sunlight strikes the cells. The cell produces electricity when the electrons move through it. Solar-thermal power plants use a variety of methods to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source on a much bigger scale. The heat is then utilized to boil water, which powers a steam turbine to produce electricity in a manner similar to that of coal and nuclear power plants and serve thousands of people with electricity. In one method, sunlight is focused on an oil pipe that passes through the center o...
