WordPress & Browser vs FLoC

„Nobody is flying to join Google’s FLoCBrave, Vivaldi, Edge, and Mozilla are all out – Google is going it alone with its proposed advertising technology to replace third-party cookies. Every major browser that uses the open source Chromium project has declined to use it, and it’s unclear what that will mean for the future of advertising on the web. … DuckDuckGo isn’t thought of as a browser, but it does make browsers for iOS and Android. On desktop, it’s already made a browser extension for other browsers to block it. And the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is very much against FLoC, has even made a website to let you know if you’re one of the few Chrome users who have been included in Google’s early tests.“

„Growing a Global Community – While we’ve quadrupled the size of our team this year, stabilized our infrastructure, launched Payments in beta to help creators monetize, and readied Android for launch, there is so much more to do as we work to bring Clubhouse to more people around the world. – With that in mind, we are excited to share that we have closed a new Series C round of financing – led by Andrew Chen at a16z, with participation from major investors DST Global, Tiger Global, and Elad Gil. … Fundraising is only important because it allows us to keep focusing on the product and the community, and we’re so excited to continue to build Clubhouse with you.
