Silent Contextual Google Toolbar Update
I just opened a blank new Tab on my browser and Google presented me with a context sensitive page suggesting most visited pages, recent bookmarks and recently closed tabs… uhm, Thanks! …I guess…
I wonder about the missing thumbnail screenshots, why an icon of a broken camera? Did i break something, or do i have to get my digital camera out and take a picture of each screen so that Google can post it? I am also not sure what the recent bookmarks are, since i don’t bookmark pages or click on bookmarks…
Comments(1)Google Gears Security Issue
I was browsing the new WordPress Dashboard today and stumpled upon the “Turbo” Section. It offers to speed up WordPress using Google Gears with a little note stating: “Don’t install on a public or shared computer.”
This made me wonder… what if somebody installed Gears on a public computer that is not protected against such browser plugins or i use someone else’s computer. Will it store confidential or private data about me? Will the Firefox “Clear Private Data” option delete traces of me from this system? Just a thought.
