About this extension

From google's own words: "Federated learning of cohorts (floc) provides a privacy-preserving mechanism for interest-based ad selection". However only chrome will support the floc api, so this extension provides users a choice to opt-in.

Currently the cohort id is always set to "42". In a future release I want to allow the user to select any cohort they like, and even an option to mimic chrome's cohort selection. The goal is and will always be giving the choice to the user.

After installing visit this site to check that it is getting a cohort id of "42": https://floc.glitch.me/
