    In Chrome, start at the three dots in the upper-right corner and go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Ad privacy. (Or just type chrome://settings/adPrivacy into your address field.) The ad privacy page lets you turn off Chrome’s targeted ads.

      Oh. So if you go through some particular combinations of settings then maybe you can find a way to request that Google reduce the ways they use your personal information. I guess that makes it totally cool and fine? I don’t think so.

      Much better to use Firefox and avoid Google ever getting that info in the first place. That way you don’t have to constantly play whack-a-mole with deliberately confusing ‘privacy settings’ which don’t even fix the problem anyway.
