I actually use several such plug-ins. However, the average user does not;
in fact, most users do not even know how to activate the "Do Not Track"
header (which Google's lobbyists in DC have advocated that Web sites
ignore). It seems to me that The FreeBSD Project should be on the side
of security, privacy, and good ethics. Just because it has received
contributions of labor from Google does not mean it should not sell out
to it.
Just my $0.02.
