The article alleges that even when the Google Toolbar Notifier BHO is also disabled, the tracking continues, and implies (though it doesn't quite state explicitly) that there is no way to disable whatever's doing the tracking other than a complete uninstallation.

- blahedo 17y agoRight---the core problem here is "can't disable"; there is a secondary problem of "it looks like I've disabled but I haven't", but nearly all the criticism in the article stands even if the X is none of Google's doing.
