Google Alarm, a Firefox & Chrome Add-on has hit the Internets this week, which alerts you every time your personal info is sent to Google’s servers by blasting your senses with notifications. Every website you vistit that sends any data back to Google by way of Ad-Sense or Google Analytics or any other Google related service will immediately sound off the Vuvuzelas accompanied by flasing red lights and a Growl like notification telling you which Google service was the culprit. If you’ve ever wondered just how much information you are sending the the all-mighty Google or just wonder which of the website you frequent are the biggest “offenders”, give this Add-on a shot… or just take a look at this video demonstration below.
