So when companies start taking about taking privacy seriously but still default hundreds of millions of users to this dog's breakfast of a broken, privacy violating web experience, don't believe a word of it.

What’s the difference between trusting Facebook with your browsing experience and trusting Google? Chrome can do far more nefarious things if it wanted to than any app using a webview.

Apps that use CCT don't trust Google with anything. CCT is a protocol that respects browser choice. Set FF or Brave or Samsung Internet (etc., etc.) as your browser and no Google code sees any of the traffic.

In that context, I guess your question sort of presumes something that isn't true, so non-sequiter...if that makes sense?

You are always putting your security on the line when browsing the internet, whether it's Safari (can't trust Apple), Chrome (can't trust Google), an IAB (can't trust apps), or other browsers. Is your frustration less about security and more respecting user choice? I get that.

Maybe you aren't *intending* to engage in whataboutery, so let me bring this back down to choices: app developers make choices and users make choices. Is your argument here that FB's insecure, likely privacy-invading IAB should suborn user's browser choice? Why?

You’re being pretty condescending, which sucks. I agree that respecting user’s choice would be nice (it would absolutely benefit Google), and if there were an alternative to IAB that used the browser choice of the user and gave the same control to apps, I bet they’d use it.

There are huge engagement wins for apps to use an in app browser. Pinterest does it and uses the access to crawl for pinnable images.

So is the TL;DR here that Pinterest is injecting script into every page a user visits outside of it and tracks which images you see from inside it's IAB? You get how this is a privacy *disaster*, right?

Not quite. It injects the script only if you click Save. It is a very good user experience.

It doesn't "track" anything. Why is this so outrageous?

BECAUSE YOU DON'T ASK THE USER IF THEY'RE FINE WITH IT.
