Google’s Chrome browser is cutting edge in just about every sense.
But when it comes to the "Do Not Track" feature, Chrome was a laggard: the last major browsing platform to support the feature.
That dubious distinction ended Tuesday, when Google released Chrome 23, which finally allows Chrome users to request that websites disable user tracking.
In a post on
Google’s Chrome blog, the company made a passing reference to the new feature, after talking up clearly more interesting new features like GPU-accelerated video decoding on Windows systems (a real battery-saver) and easy-to-access per-site permissions.
