    No it doesn't, if you:

    1. Never register with OpenAI/ChatGPT, and

    2. Strongly block ads, e.g. using uBlock Origin + EFF Privacy Badger. Yes, those don't work on Chrome, Edge and other Chromium-based browsers.

    Also, even then - ChatGPT may be tracking your behavior indirectly through Microsoft's various services and platforms. But we should do our best to undermine mass surveillance and support individual privacy.

      Privacy Badger works in Chrome, etc. (Manifest V3)

        Yes, you're right. But uBlock Origin doesn't.
