On the heels of Google’s announcement that an awesome new privacy tool is coming that users can rely on to auto-delete their location history, now we’re getting word of a new dashboard-like tool that’s also coming to the company’s Chrome browser and which represents another pro-privacy move — or, at least, the semblance of one. The dashboard will let you have a greater understanding of the cookies that are tracking you online, in addition to giving you a way to limit them.
This news comes via The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the search giant has actually been working on this tool for six years. It was an on-again, off-again project at the company that started to pick up speed last year in the post-Cambridge Analytica era.
