Chrome Browser Error: Attestation check for Topics on https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/ failed


In the latest Chrome version (Version 118.0.5993.71 (Official Build) (64-bit)), for a software product I'm selling, I'm getting:

Attestation check for Topics on https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/ failed.

on line 1 (the <DOCTYPE html> tag).

This appears in Dev Console. Google is providing no documentation that I can find on this on what to do. No links explain anything. Am I supposed to add some META tags in the HTML to explain my software product?


Solution

  • From what I understand, if you set the header

    Permissions-Policy: browsing-topics=()
    

    in your responses it should disable the attestation check whilst disabling the topic api.

    In an .htaccess file, one can add:

    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        Header set Permissions-Policy "browsing-topics=()"
    </IfModule>
