Don't Track Me, Bro!

Chrome to support Do Not Track privacy feature | Webware - CNET.

Chrome is finally getting on the "Don't Track Me" bandwagon. For some time, there has been some impetus to a global agreement for large advertisers to agree that, if a browser sends a header to the advertiser advising that the consumer does not want targeted ads based on user browsing habits, the advertiser would honor the choice. Now, Google has added an extension that will mimic the services already offered by Opera, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Apple Safari. Of course, rogue advertisers will still ignore the header; but, it is a start. The retailers who would honor such a request are probably the ones I want to hear from. If you still want to hide, of course, you need to anonymize your browsing, and that is a whole other post. Be careful out there.
