There’s been a lot of fuss over internet privacy recently, and to appease the angry mob Google has announced that it will be including a new feature in its Chrome web browser. According to Bloomberg, Google has announced that it will be including a “Do Not Track” button in Chrome. When activated, the user’s browsing history will not be given away to Google and other web services for tailored ads. This new feature falls in line with previous reports about Microsoft, Google and Apple offering more noticeable privacy disclosures in their apps and services.
Honestly I don’t find giving up your browsing history such a big deal. Everybody is going to see ads on websites anyway (unless they have an ad blocker installed) so you might as well have ads that are relevant to you, right? No word on when Chrome will get this “Do Not Track” button, but how many of you will be using it once it when it is released?
