For those of you who don’t know, a unique ID is assigned when Google Chrome is installed. Every time Chrome is launched, guess who knows who launched it. There is a little utility that erases the client ID before Chrome is launched; a little bit more privacy for you.
Download the Chrome Privacy Guard and run it instead of Chrome. The CPG will eradicate the client ID then launch Chrome. Easy.

Just to let you know about a privacy issue with Google’s Chrome browser. The browser has a feature called Auto Suggest which, as the name implies, suggests similar web sites for the one you are browsing. The privacy issue comes in because the URL is sent to Google, along with a plethora of information, for analysis and the suggestions are sent back. Unfortunately, this feature defaults to ‘on’.
To turn it off: Tools > Options > Basics tab > Manage (under default search) > uncheck “Use a suggestion service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar”.
