This may be old news but....

This may be old news to alot of you but I think it is proof of how much tracking Google does and why Google Chrome should not be used by webmasters.
Before signing up on IMT I had never heard of Sri Lanka (Im just a dumb country boy forgive me) However, I met a guy on here and we pm a few times and I always used google chrome (not anymore) so anyway, I had not been on youtube in a couple of months and when I signed in this morning using my same account I had for google chrome there were several vids about Sri Lanka (which I did enjoy!) The food looked GREAT! However, the point is the tracking! Google is so worried about tracking and ad relevance they are lacking on giving accurate search returns!

This is exactly what I'm talking for years now...as well and tracking of your website activity etc...
This is why we don't allow chrome to be used with IMT tools.

hihi. tis is not only with google..... Amazon is the same!! Amazon is buying the personal details from Facebook and co. i give example: You are was never a amazon Customer and was never there, but u are a facebook customer, all your personal details, your likes of books, movies, ect... is sold from Facebook to amazon!! Than, one day you decide to visit that online shop called Amazon, and look what they have, becasue you heared from your friend about it. Any how, you are finding books and stuffs, which you like.... magic.... !!!
you think, what a wunderfull shop they have this what i am interesting of.....
This is proofen that Facebook is selling Data to amazon!!! And not any Fake idea.... it was official that Facebook sells Data to Amazon.

And now one more big News:

Each Webpage which have a Facebook like code intigratet, is by force a spy from Facebook!!!! Facebook is tracking trough his Like buttons on websites, from where people comes.... to which sites people go.....

So even here on IM where are getting tracked, because here too the Facebook Likes are intigratet!! And that is not a Fake message to make people afraid, this is the real, nothing else.

( i still wish that Nemanja is removing that like buttons from IM.... )

My opinion: If we speak here about serious blocking the IM Tools from google, we should as well block them and save them from other Spy's. Becasue who knows which will be the next search engine, or the next algorythm ......

I'm the latest victim of this Google espionage thing. :-)
A few hours ago, I was using a public computer miles away from my home. I have changed the search setting to display 100 results per page.
After arriving home and now using Chrome in my personal computer, it still gives me 100 results! haha...

The news is new, and quite formidable, for me. They all now seem an evil eye to me. The question is, if we try to avoid them as you suggest, will not it check our progress as well? For instance, if Facebook is spying on its users, doesn't Google determine a page's value based on its Facebook likes, shares and comments?

Your correct. However, in Texas we always say don't let the right hand know what the left hand is doing. So when you build links, when you submit sites, use firefox. I stay completely away from google chrome.
