Google plays privacy catch-up, adds Do Not Track option to Chrome

Posted in: Today's Chili

Google’s had one foot in the web privacy door for a while, offering Chrome users the Keep My Opt-Outs extension in its browser’s Web Store since 2011. Still, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari already offer a Do Not Track option directly in their browser settings. Mountain View is now working to close that gap by bringing that same privacy configuration to Chrome. Do Not Track will let users opt out of tracking cookies and targeted advertising (from ad networks that comply with the standard, that is), and is currently live on Chrome’s developer channel. The option will reportedly be baked into the stable version of the browser by the end of the year.

Browser extension enables SkyDrive attachments within Gmail

Gmail users who envy Outlook’s SkyDrive integration will find that the proverbial grass is now a little greener on their side, thanks to fresh features in Attachments.me’s Chrome and Firefox browser extensions. With the plugin installed, files residing in Microsoft’s cloud service can be attached to emails from within Gmail. Also included in the update is support for user-created rules that can direct attachments to SkyDrive as they flood into inboxes. Can’t wait for Gmail to gain similar support with Google Drive, or just prefer Redmond’s storage solution? Hit the source link below to infuse Mountain View’s web mail with some of Microsoft’s storage locker mojo.
