Updated Chrome today, and was immediately given a prompt about how my browsing preferences would be directly used to feed me ads.
Chrome auto-enabled a feature that sends sites info to send me personalized ads based on browsing history, the ability for sites to determine what I like and update the ads as I browse, and the ability for sites to measure ad effectiveness.
These are built-in features of the browser now.
