    Srinivas believes that Perplexity’s browser users will be fine with such tracking because the ads should be more relevant to them.

      ad tracking is only as personalized as the company running the ads

      If I’m advertising fake nails, it’s personalized if you like fake nails and I advertise to fake nail fans, but if I advertise to all femme people - then it’s no longer personalized, and advertisers tend to do the latter.
