Talk about dedicated servers and disappointed clients...
Google made a HUGE mistake recently...
Last Friday, Wall Street Journal broke the story that Google somehow figured out a way to crack Safari's security settings and has been tracking users (that’s people like you and me) by stealth for more than 6 months. This means they have been following us and spying on what web pages we visit and what products we buy - as well as possibly seeing other private information such as credit cards numbers, etc...
Now, today, Microsoft has accused Google of the same thing with Explorer. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/02/20/google-tricks-internet-explorer-foils-privacy-settings-microsoft-says/?test=latestnews
To counteract this for Explorer and Windows users, Microsoft has made a tracking protection list. Check it out: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/browser/p3p/
Below you can see a screen capture of Pageviews by Operating Systems of people who visit this blog. This security breech shows that Google has been spying on approximately 87% of all Internet users!
The browser wars and security and privacy wars are heating up... If users start to implement the Microsoft tracking protection list, Google Adsense is dead.
I hope it is dead. Google already pries into our private information too much. This shouldn't be allowed or tolerated by users...
Really, Google just changed their privacy policy and now they've broken it - already?!
