To be honest, I already assumed they were doing this tracking all |
| 7 |
along... I think Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook etc. will track you |
| 8 |
everywhere you go, too, if they can. |

The credit card companies have been doing this for years. Buy a lot of |
| 11 |
dog food at the grocery store with your Visa card? Get Alpo junk mail |
| 12 |
in your mailbox... |

Me, I use Chromium for using "social media" sites or Google services |
| 15 |
that I want to log-in to. Google+, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn. I |
| 16 |
don't use it for anything else. |

I use Firefox for everything else. I am not logged into any of those |
| 19 |
services in Firefox. I use RequestPolicy to block all third-party |
| 20 |
content unless I explicitly allow it. I also use noscript, adblock, |
| 21 |
flashblock, cookie monster. Everything is blocked by default except |
| 22 |
same-site images. My Firefox is like the armored tank of web browsing: |
| 23 |
big and slow and sometimes it crashes, but I feel safe inside it. :) |
