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.

Google Browser Sync is completely automated. The settings you select at startup are automatically synchronized across each of the computers on which you install Browser Sync. You won’t even need to log in every time you start the browser. You can change which browser components are being synced – or even stop the syncing process entirely – using the settings panel in the upper-right corner of the page. The settings panel also gives you access to your PIN.

This can be a lot of data. It’s a trade-off. What you get out of it is faster performance as you navigate the web. “
