In place of cookies, Google has introduced a new set of tools that makes the Chrome browser itself keep tabs on what you’re doing online.

So instead of cookies which can be blocked or deleted relatively simply there's spyware baked directly into the browser. How is this an improvement for the user?

    It finally convinces you to stop using chrome, so an improvement.

    Will Chromium-based browsers also have this "feature", or can they turn it off (and will they)? Or is firefox the only safe alternative left?
