    Where do you find the plug in to protect yourself from Google's new interest based advertising program.

    Kim Komando, in her Saturday newsletter mentioned that FF has a plug in.

    I could not find it.

    Thanks for your help

    From KimKomando.com newsletter:


    GOOGLE'S NEW AD PROGRAM RAISES PRIVACY CONCERNS
    Earlier this week, Google launched what it calls interest-based advertising. Basically, Google sets a cookie on your computer. It then tracks your searches and page views. This information is used to serve targeted ads to you.

    Google says it will not track certain sensitive interests. However, privacy advocates are concerned. And many say Google is acquiring too much data on surfers.

    Fortunately, you can opt out of the tracking. Methods vary from browser to browser. Visit my site to learn how to protect your privacy now!
