Seems like a good idea, not just for "porn mode" but because who wants to feel like they're being spied on while shopping for comics?

This doesn't really seem new. Just looks like they're creating a profile that impls much of what is currently manual options in most browsers.


Still, it's sad that everything is focused around 'porn mode' for the most part. I don't do anything on my PC that my wife either doesn't know about or I'd be embarrassed/angry about if she found out.

I'd be more impressed if I didn't have to accept cookies from my bank site just to check my balance.

As long as click throughs and image redirects are the norm to usage tracking browsers will not be the problem. It will be the webmasters that partner with adlink and the like.

Clearing your cache when you close the browser doesn't really matter when the data about your IP/geography has already been xfered when you pulled a picture.
