Delete Chrome. Now.
Google is using its exceptionally powerful position to make *the browser itself* analyze your browsing behavior and serve that on a plate in the form of "cohorts" to anyone interested.

2) Twitter wonders what Greenpeace will do now, I cynically replied "they're busy preparing smear campaign against JRC"
3) 31 March Greenpeace posts... a smear campaign against JRC (in English), faces a scathing criticism
