It's obvious that its scumbag advertisers and Google (maybe I'm repeating myself here) behind this. They want a way to track every user and all their behaviors. They want things like these to either not exist or be disabled by default. They live for all the user data they can gather. This also means they are available for law enforcement and any other party with interest to gather that data, now and in the future.
It's already starting to bother me. I'm seeing these advertisements here on Slashdot too. Aft

Nah, they come in through the skylight [xkcd.com] or on stage at Yale [xkcd.com]. It's common knowledge that under the bed is where Stallman keeps his katana and Linus keeps his nunchucks. Rumor has it RMS also hid a special macro in Emacs which turns your pinky finger into a deadly weapon.
