Mysk and Haj Bakry have provided a second video showing how Chrome and Safari handle third-party tracking cookies out of the box in their normal browsing modes. And so, for most of us, constant private browsing is too much like hard work.Īnd this gives you even more reason to ditch Chrome for Safari.
