That link is to Safari on iOS and it says that your browsing history may be collected but it’s not linked to your identity.

Is it a privacy problem if Apple collects aggregate browsing history from iOS users?

And is this relevant to a thread about desktop browsers?

I visit my HN comments page almost daily. There’s no way this can be anonymized away from me as the url contains my userid and can be linked back to me.

Even anonymized, data can be used in negative ways against me (eg, trying to alter my purchase behavior through ads).

Unless sufficiently anonymized - and I don't know how much is actually sufficient - your browsing history can be used to identify you.
