Every major browser now allows users to choose whether websites and advertisers can track their online activities.
Google has launched a new version of its ever popular Chrome web browser, which finally integrates Do Not Track support.
Chrome 23 has followed Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera in giving users the ability to choose if websites and advertisers can track their online activities.
As the Obama administration requested, users who update to Chrome 23 will now be able to enable or disable the DNT protocol option, which Google promised to implement into its browser earlier this year.
"This latest release also includes an option to send a "do not track" request to websites and web services," the search engine giant said. "The effectiveness of such requests is dependent on how websites and services respond, so Google is working with others on a common way to respond to these requests in the future."
Chrome 23 also allows users to control the unique permissions of select sites such as access to your camera, microphone and location by clicking the lock icon situated within the URL bar.
No analogy that Apple's browsers has had this for a while now? What's going on Zak, are you feeling well?
That's why the analogy is absent. Not that it fits here anyways.
1. "Don't load tabs until selected" feature
2. You can disable automatic updates in Firefox
I won't touch Chrome again until both those issues have been addressed. For the Chrome users out there, give Comodo Dragon a test spin. It's pretty much Chrome, just without the forced autoupdates or the privacy issues.
" *except for Google "
i have websites that 404 open so i can read later on
chrome has screwed me 3 times by restarting and 5-6 pages were lost each time.
had to reg edit in a "DO NOT UPDATE CHROME" because god knows the browser wont let me not update.
You can disable 'Google Update' and then it won't auto update. It never auto updates for me, I do it manually.
