I tried various browsers, even the Tor browser, but it keeps showing 'Unique to 1 in 17.179.869.184+ devices'?

this looks like youtube kids from youtube itself, what are the differences between the two? I use youtube kids for my own kids on our iPads, which works somewhat fine, a bit clunky to add channels and to use it for offline watching though.

I found this extension that makes it even easier, and you can configure it to go to either old.reddit.com or new.reddit.com (instead of going to 3rd generation even worse sh.reddit.com) without having to configure Redirector: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ui-changer-for-redd...

This is probably whats going to happen everywhere, Google will be even more dominant in adtech with 3rd party cookie removal. Everyone moving to 1st party advertising (SERP, Youtube ads), display ads are race to the bottom without targeting..

I just tried all the examples you gave (on my M1 Max) except Skype which I don't have installed here, they all load in 1 second or faster, maybe its something else on your Mac?

What I wonder, after reading this, is what happens with all that snow that is accumulating and causing all the buildings to be burried? Is the South Pole slowly rising? Or is snow at the bottom somehow dissipating?

Surprisingly enough, notes does have snap to shape the feature, really weird decision to NOT have it in Freeform unfortunately

Nice! There are quite a few other ways that advanced marketers want to analyze this if you google for attribution modelling, but first and last touch is already a great start

Cool, not sure how you did that of course, you should probably if you want to grow this do an external code audit or something like that, but great job, also how fast you change stuff!

You will probably quickly run into asks from customers about 'attribution modelling' concepts and multi touch attribution, you now probably created first touch attribution?

I think it's fairly fundamental; to see if a visitor has accessed one page, and later on another page, you need to track that visitor somehow. So you need some kind of identifier. Even using an IP address (hashed or not) or assigning a random ID all falls under GDPR regulation. Alternative 'tricks' like link decoration could work maybe but you have to rewrite all URLs, which is very error prone. Creating cnames for every customer is another option, called cname cloaking, but it has other drawbacks and it's probably also not GDPR compliant. Would definitely be interesting if there is a solution for this problem, as I agree that there are very valid usecases for attribution, but its very hard to do as (very limited) tracking is almost mandatory to do this. You could work 'around' legislations by checking where a visitor comes from and track (only) in those regions where its allowed, and in other areas ask for permission? You will miss visitors, but you can extrapolate counters to compensate potentially.

I think most people (including me) are looking for how it works to check if it really is (somewhat) GDPR compliant, so for example you want to know if data is stored in aggregate or also individual data (which would fall under GDPR), if individual users are tracked with some kind of identifier, how fast the identifier is deleted, if its stored in disk or only in memory, who can access the identifier, is the identifier pseudonized etc.

Was confused about this as well; attribution is a term used by marketer for attributing revenue to channel and campaigns (cost), so you might want to make it clear that this is really about single website attribution. Is it single session attribution or can you measure if a user enter the website and convert a few days later?
