Google Stars Extension For Chrome Leaks: Hands On

Posted by timothy on from the moderation-points dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We've known for a while now that Google is testing a new favoriting service called Google Stars, aimed at helping users save, share, and organize Web content. This is largely due to multiple leaks, detailing features as well as showing off the interface in a video and screenshots. Today, Google+ user Florian Kiersch, who has done the majority of the digging behind the service, has leaked the Google Stars extension for Google Chrome."

    Does Google really expect me to believe that:

    1: Someone uses Google+
    2: Said Google+ "user" "leaked" this feature
    3: This feature isn't just "+1" trash built into Chrome?

    Stop trying to make Google+ be a thing.

    What's the benefit other than explicitly giving Google (and advertisers) your bookmark data?

    Google doesn't give, sell or otherwise provide user data to advertisers.
