With its latest update, Privacy Badger now fights "link tracking" in
    a number of Google products.

    Link tracking allows a company to follow you whenever you click on a
    link to leave its website. Earlier this year, EFF rolled out a
    Privacy Badger update targeting Facebook's use of this practice. As
    it turns out, Google performs the same style of tracking, both in
    web search and, more concerning, in spaces for private conversation
    like Hangouts and comments on Google Docs. From now on, Privacy
    Badger will protect you from Google's use of link tracking in all of
    these domains.

  Yikes!

  More reason to move off of Google properties and when you have no
  choice but use them, protect yourself.
