If you are wondering (like I was) what exactly are the claims against Chrome that the article makes (instead of having just a flashy title): - Chrome doesn't, by default, block cookie based tracking, nowhere near as much as default Firefox install it seems - Chrome auto-logs you in the "Chrome Sign in" feature when you happen to login on Gmail. Really? I don't seem to be logged in in my Chrome but then again, I always use incognito mode - mobile Chrome sends your location on every search and if you disable location sharing sends less accurate positioning information. I'd like to get a confirmation of this is true since if I disable location on my phone then no app can get it, Chrome or otherwise, I think. Also again this needs to be tested in incognito mode. And when the article says it still sends data but "less accurate", is that more accurate than your IP address allows to find your location? Because your IP address is always sent, inherently, in a web request so if it's not more accurate than the IP address then it doesn't really matter In general I find this whole new awareness to privacy in browsers to be both welcome and frustrating. It is welcome because I'm happy people are finally waking up to it. It is frustrating because I've been using "private" mode browsing (with extensions and whatever was available, even had extension to remove the special Flash cookies) for the past 15+ years, never performed any Google or Youtube search while logged in, never logged in to more than 2 sites at once in the same browser session, using Tor for almost all browsing and I've been laughed at for doing so. Glad to see I wasn't totally crazy then, although a bit too late for that.
