From the news article linked below:

The search giant is offering users the chance to see and edit their profiles and it will also offer them the choice to opt out of the service.


Well that's alright then. I love the way they call it a service...

The trial service launches on YouTube and Google from 11 March but advertisers will not be able to display advertisements until April.

Initially a handful of advertisers will be invited to take part.

The system uses a cookie - a small piece of text that lives inside a web browser - to track users as they visit different websites that show ads through its AdSense program.




Seems the thing to do is block Google from setting cookies in your browser.

Also I use the following FF extensions to help limit Google and to block Ads.

AdBlock Plus
Customize Google

I tend to use Google only for researching Malware, like aBenG I use Scroogle for my personal searching. Smile
