Was using my SO’s laptop, I had been talking (not searching, or otherwise typing) about some VPN solutions for my homelab, and had the curiosity to use the new big copilot button and ask what it can do. The beginning of this context was actually me asking if it can turn off my computer for me (it cannot) and I ask this.
Very unnerved, I hate to be so paranoid to think that it actually picked up on the context of me talking, but again: SO’s laptop, so none of my technical search history to pull off of.
I believe theyre linking Metadata. Regardless of my VPN, the ads that slip through are clearly all linked between device’s so it’s my belief that they’re gathering and tracking data to link sources based on hardware info. I use randomized MAC, client spoofers, VPN, adblock dns, everything, and they’re still able to link my devices based on hardware data.
