Google releases opt-out extension for Chrome

Google has released a new browser extension for their Chrome browser called Keep My Opt-Outs, which is a simple way to opt out of Google-based advertising tracking, along with ad tracking from other major advertising companies.

It's worth noting that this is an extension that needs to be downloaded, so this won't change much for advertisers.

Still, this is a good step which will hopefully lead to similar tools on other browser platforms.
