You're not the only one, the SEO people in my company got onto this surprisingly quickly. I sometimes feel black (hat) has become the new white: for whatever reasons companies seem to be more willing to accept the less ethical sides of doing business on the web. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

This technology clear goes way too far. It might be a good idea to remind employers of when the state of Texas sued doubleclick for stalking. Knowing how to do something doesn't mean that you should do it.

There will be some backlash to this sort of thing seen as an increasing number of surfers stripping back enabled browser functionality.
