How To Opt Out Of Google's New Targeted Ads
How To Opt Out Of Google's New Targeted Ads.

Click on the Electronic Frontier Foundation link to goto Google Begins Behavioral Targeting Ad Program article to get the following link: Google's Advertising Cookie Opt-out Plug-In.

I would like it a lot better if the Google plug-in installation was strictly for opt-in, rather than have to install a Google plug-in on your computer to opt-out, i.e. the absense of the Google plug-in or a preference in its cookie would do the deed to opt-out rather than have to have a plug-in to opt-out.

What is this New Targeted Ad by Google Tom? I have NoScript addon with Firefox and I notice things like google-analytics.com and googlesyndications.com everywhere I go. Is it tracking us and is google trying to take over the world lol?
