Google Chrome' access to all your data on all websites visited

I'm acutely aware of Google Chrome's privacy issues, but still use Chrome in some circumstances (when privacy isn't an issue) because it's fast.

Given that much of the written word is not in English, I sought an addon for Chrome (as well as for Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, etc.).

But, look what this addon, Chrome and probably all browsers and exentions/addons can access:
  • Your data on all websites
  • Your browsing history
YOUR DATA, ON ALL WEBSITES

To be sold on, no doubt. I hope it's as innocuous as some believe it to be but I'm inclined to predict that this will be (if it is not already) a feed into government databases - perhaps ultimately a UN database.




Be aware!

I am fairly open, apart from some sites on genetics, some legal ones, some left wing sites, you and a few others thats it. I noticed when I planned a trip to Israel several "Single Jewish Girls in my area" ads popped up. Ah well, off to Ebay now!

And that's just your arsehole when you pull out your butt plug, McEgan!
