Google Alarm screams when you send information to Google

John Moe Aug 11, 2010

It’s an add-on for Firefox that alerts you every time your computer sends information about you to Google. Due to Google’s omnipresence online through their own sites and ads and affiliations, the thing screams almost constantly. So it’s a great add-on if you love the sound of loud frightening sirens or if you want to understand the full scope of Google’s reach.
