Please do this NOW - How to remove your Google Web History

On March 1 Google's new unified privacy policy is to be in-force. This means ALL your Google Web History will be shared among all of the Google products you use.

Be kind to yourself and do this to avoid embarrassment later -

HIT the URL - https://www.google.com/history/

If all is good, ‘No Thanks’ should be already selected.

ELSE refer below image (select the Remove all Web History link) -

Beware: Facebook is watching!

Whether you are an occasional Facebookie (!) or a die hard Facebook addict, you need to know that "Facebook Is Tracking You on the Web".

For the story and details refer to this Mashable Article,

For the premise refer to this Lifehacker post which also has tips to prevent it too.


Although the Lifehacker post contains discussion on FF and chrome addons for the FB issue as well as generic privacy control, the paranoid extra-cautious are suggested to refer here for a discussion on the best privacy/safety add-ons for the same (sorry FF only!)

I would still suggest using a browser cache cleaning utility for keeping the system free of storing (risk inducing) personal information. Basically containing browser related cookies and other temporary files. The best way would be using something like ccleaner.

But ccleaner is so potent in itself, that it begs another topic.

Later.
