[Wien] [ff] Google to base ads on surfing behavior

[Adrian D]

war ja auch nur eine frage der zeit, bis ihre benutzerprofile danke
google analytics und adwords gut genug sind.

noch bessere lösung als sich ein google-plugin zu installieren: das
firefox-plugin "addblock plus" http://adblockplus.org/ wirkt gegen alle
werbe- und tracking-scripts, nicht nur die von google.

nach der installation empfielt es sich die anti-tracking und die
anti-werbe liste (zb cedric) zu aktivieren. das browsen geht ohne den
tracking- und werbe-scripts sowie flash-bannern auch merklich schneller.
