Another rad browser plugin called Google Alarm hit the Internets this week, which alerts you every time your personal info is sent to Google’s servers. How? Via notifications, a running tally of dangerous sites and, naturally, a super annoying, vuvuzela -like alarm. After seeing this new plugin — which works with both Firefox and Chrome — on F.A.T. , I contacted the developer who made it: Jamie…  Read More →
