I turned off Chrome's Ad Privacy feature after realizing what it was actually doing
"Google's Ad Privacy was introduced as part of the Privacy Sandbox initiative, which aimed to phase out third-party cookies by 2025. However, it has not replaced these cookies and instead created a new tracking system."
"The Ad Privacy feature includes three main components: ad topics based on browsing history, site-suggested ads relevant to user activity, and ad measurement for advertisers, which allows tracking effectiveness without directly identifying users."
"While Google promotes Ad Privacy as a means to enhance user privacy, it ultimately emphasizes data collection, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the initiative in truly protecting user privacy."

Despite the promise of improved privacy, the system ultimately allows Google to collect more user data, leading to concerns about its effectiveness in protecting user privacy.
