I use Gmail for my main email account, but I usually use Firefox browser with the Mozilla Adblock Plus plugin to avoid seeing ads. Today I thought I’d try out Google’s Chrome browser to see how well it integrates with the Gnome Desktop’s “Online Accounts” feature. That feature hasn’t really worked well for me, because I’ve never figured out how to unlock the desktop keyring. I know the password, but it doesn’t prompt me for the keyring password when I need to open it.
Anyway, while going through my email I opened this action alert from the Union of Concerned Scientists and was amused to see the targeted ad Google put above the message. It seems to reinforce the point UCS is making!
