Well that decreases the total tracking Chrome web users would be exposed to. Google would track the same, third parties would track less. If third party ad networks weren't total pieces of shit that leak private data all over the place including to data brokers, I'd have a bigger problem with it. Right now, in a sort of a fucked up way, it's a net positive.
