That’s what I need.
I bought some stuff on Amazon and now they have my number.

If I browse items I get ads/ emails pertaining to those and related goods.

Just got a ‘heads up’ e-mail from Consumers Report about Zombie Cookies able to track your surfing and next to impossible to erase.

In the end, I actually prefer Google Chrome 10.0.648.204 (the current released version) because not only it is really fast (thanks to the Webkit page layout engine), Chrome probably has the most compatibility with HTML 5.0 and best of all, each tab runs in its own separate process, so if one tab crashes it won't take down the whole browser with it. That's why my default browser on my home computer is Chrome.
