The new Chrome lets google track you and sell that info to advertisers: New Google Chrome Targeted Ad Tracking—Here’s How To Stop It
Rumor in the security world is that this new feature is allowing bad actors to send malware to browsers. I haven't seen any articles yet but it sounds like a bad exploit. At this point Google has dropped the "don't" from "don't be evil". I try to have as little to do with them as possible.
there are two "ad blocker" browser add-ons. One or both of them allow ads from companies that have paid it, which kind of defeats the purpose. I switched to ublock, which seems to do a better job anyhow.
