    So now the *good* guys will no longer track you. I don't get the logic.

    If you were serious, you could use one of a million extensions for it. It's not as though updating chrome ever really breaks extensions.

    But you weren't being serious. You were just being spiteful by showing your negativity towards a browser you don't have any intention of using.

    Um, actually they are following industry standards, as much as I hate to say it. IE turns it on automatically which is against industry standards (and basically makes it useless because buissness will only follow it if a minority of users are using it, they can't afford to do otherwise).
