The funny thing is, some people are so worried about the Russians and Chinese collecting our data (a real concern, btw), but they don't seem to be bothered by Google's and Facebook's data collection.

Nah, I don't think staff cares about these kind of threads. They just blame it on the 3rd party ad servers, lol.

Data is the new Gold Rush.  No rules, nothing to lose, everything to gain. It's disgusting that chess.com is part of the growing data thievery online.

Malicious advertising code

Please.  They have teams of people running this site. It's huge. They know everything that is going on, all the time.  It's a money maker and now a data retriever.

Again, install uBlock Origin, Adblocker Plus, and NoScript, and many of your problems will go away. (And stay away from social media.)

yes, when I would run those, and any combo of those, I can log in to chess.com , but the system shuts me out of playing any live games.    They've got all this stuff covered.   BTW, the "let me check your browser" happens after I login, from inside this site.  All spyware.

When I remove those anti add programs, system lets me play again, because I'm  "in line" with how things work around here.  Play = get spied and tracked.   Cancel ads = can't play.

I doubt that tbh
