A question for those "in the know" regarding my identity when browsing with Chrome....
Think it could be the way Google+ is tied into Chrome these days. If you're logged into Google+ then it automatically keeps track of things like sites visited depending on the setting defaults and what you have allowed. YouTube is now part of the Google empire also so it is tied into your Google account.
This link basically is the key to the kingdom and what you choose to allow: https://myaccount.google.com/security?pli=1
Are you familiar with these Google settings: https://myaccount.google.com/activitycontrols ?
EDIT: That's wild, you have to highlight the above link and go to it, won't work as a direct hyperlink.
Browser Fingerprinting?
I don't think that's what happened, but it's a very interesting read. I had no idea. I mean, I knew certain websites and companies would try to get as thorough a "snapshot" of your system as possible, but sheesh! That's just unreal. Everything they can do to know as much about you as possible, and for various reasons. :(
