Alphabet's Google has been hit with a complaint by the Austrian advocacy group NOYB over its Privacy Sandbox feature in the Chrome web browser. The complaint, filed with the Austrian data protection authority on Thursday, alleges that the Privacy Sandbox still allows Google to track users' web browsing history despite claims of enhancing privacy. NOYB, a non-profit organization, argues that the system behind the Sandbox API is misleading and fails to protect user privacy as advertised. The complaint also accuses Google of using dark patterns to mislead users. This development has reignited privacy concerns and criticism towards Google's data practices.
