    If I'm comparing prices on Amazon and other places, I leave that tab open. I'll also add it to my cart (you don't have to purchase it or 'save it for later') while I am browsing. Often, if I leave it for a week, the price goes down a little bit.

    I was shopping online for bras for my wife at the Fredericks of Hollywood site and the next time I went on armslist there were popups for Fredericks in the sidebar. When I go on youtube to watch music videos I get popups for MidwayUSA.

    I tried Google Rewards for about a week then deleted it. App was wonky as far as I was concerned and I'd rather make Google work to piece together information about me.

    And the NSA can subpoena Google for information they want. (Google collects information the .gov isn't allowed to; .gov gets it from Google.)

    Speaking of search engines. Take a peek at the search engines in Chrome settings. You might be surprised by what you find in there. Seems many sites will install themselves there as a custom search engine. So, if you've visited a site, purposely or not, incognito or not, and thought all you had to do was clear your browser history you might want to take a peek in their...

    You can do this yourself too using the site's search field as the target of a custom Google search engine. http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/chrome-c...search-engine/

    Basically, navigate to the search field input and right-click to Add as Search Engine. Doesn't work on all sites but you can add them manually. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/create-...google-chrome/
