Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Google has been rolling out Chrome's “Enhanced Ad Privacy” via a popup
it's unfortunate that the sour response to this impressive privacy work (https://github.com/WICG/turtledove/blob/main/FLEDGE_k_anonym...) will likely lead to people turning it off, and buried in their is the switch for Private State Tokens (https://github.com/WICG/trust-token-api/blob/main/README.md)

iOS 17 automatically removes tracking parameters from links you click on
It'll be interesting to see how this goes. Google and Mozilla+Meta each have competing standards.

To my knowledge, Mozilla's design is the only one where someone other than the browser collects & reports on click activity, and with a fairly trustless anonymizing double blind strategy for those intermediaries.

Apple, FedEx and the Cookie Apocalypse
you can target an Economist reader a week later on a different website. If FLoC works, you can still do that.
https://github.com/WICG/floc won't really let advertisers do that, this is what https://github.com/WICG/turtledove is for

iOS 14 tracking changes sees big ad spending drop, tumbling prices
The issue is that the replacement that are currently in the works (https://github.com/WICG/floc and https://github.com/WICG/turtledove/blob/main/FLEDGE.md) are extremely complex, will still dramatically impact adtech performance and only improve privacy for a very contrived definition of the concept which incidentally benefits once again big tech vendors...
As to the effectiveness of advertising, removing tracking will have a huge impact. And this affects all players in the value chain, not only adtech providers but also publishers and more importantly advertisers which will see their return on ad spent severely impacted. There is a real of loss "social welfare" (I mean in a game-theoretic sense, but also for real if you believe in capitalism) if tracking is disabled.

Audience Extension After 3rd Party Cookies
Check FLEDGE initiative for this case. The mechanism has not been settled yet, but moves in the needed direction: https://github.com/WICG/turtledove/blob/main/FLEDGE.md#11-joining-interest-groups

GitHub blocks FLoC across all of GitHub Pages
I think advertising is positive [1] and the role of ads in funding freely-available sites is very important. My current work is primarily on how browsers can allow more private and secure advertising [2][3][4] which I think most people will agree is valuable even if they are less in favor of advertising in general.
At a lower level, I do this job because I'm paid, which allows me to donate. [5] But I wouldn't do this work if I thought it was harmful; there are lots of different kinds of jobs I could take.

What is going on with "birds" names for the new generation of ad targeting technologies?
Why do Google's FLoC, TURTLEDOVE, Dovekey, Criteo's SPARROW, Magnite's PARRROT, NextRoll's TERN and Microsoft's PARAKEET all have similar bird-related names? This feels very cruel considering that in most cultures birds often symbolise freedom.

Microsoft Broke a Chrome Feature to Promote Its Edge Browser
You can't block fingerprinting completely without breaking a ton of useful features. But the sandbox has a concept called the privacy budget which tries to determine if a site is collecting too much information. It should allow sites that actually use some of these features to continue to work.
The idea is that if sites that query fonts, engage canvas, read the user agent information, etc, they are likely trying to build a fingerprint, so the browser will start to return generic data.
Presumably - hopefully - it would allow users to set their own privacy budgets. Even better if it supports granular per-site control, which may be needed to certain specialized websites.

Chrome: User-Agent Reduction
I don't think there are any plans to make this a pop-up. But it's still useful to move this entropy to be something that has to be actively collected: people can see which sites are collecting what information, and eventually browsers can start enforcing something like privacy budgets (https://github.com/mikewest/privacy-budget). You can't do these with something always sent automatically.
- FLoC away from Chrome!

Simple and privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytic
Someone from Chrome has proposed something similar in the form of a "privacy budget". Each fingerprintable surface gets a score and each origin has a budget. Once you go over, something(?) happens.
