  Personal machine, sure. I get it. Media people can read news for entertainment purposes. This wasn't a personal machine though, this machine is used to check facts for the New York Times. Lots of people will believe something the NYT publishes with no further investigation, this is a important job. If I was doing that, I'd do my best to keep an open mind, and definitely not install a plugin that reminds me of my biases on every page.

    (I think in this case it was Wired, not NYT) Personally I blame Google for the proliferation of a lot of this stuff. It syncs extensions across browsers and automatically signs you in on Chrome when you log onto Gmail. Or did, anyway, it’s been a while since I used it. Either way, infuriating default behaviour.

      > automatically signs you in on Chrome when you log onto Gmail. Or did, anyway, it’s been a while since I used it. This is still the case, at least as of a few months ago. It is possible to disable the "feature", thankfully, but the option for it is hidden away and not easy to find.

        The option is pretty easy to find, just search for Firefox and install that instead ;p
