When you visit a website, the site has LIMITED ability to track you.
When you INSTALL and use EXECUTABLES like CHROME or FLASH, you invite the author of the program right into your computer to examine everyhting including unique identifiers like the processor serial nr or serial numbers of any other hardware.
If Google is KNOWN to have a VERY voracious intent in collecting user data ( and selling it to third parties - including eBay and PP) - and they have been sued over hacks that allowed them to make data persistent even after the user's cleanup - then why in the world would you use their browser??
Try looking at Safari - with private browsing enabled, IE8 with InPrivate enabled, and sandboxie - a program that isolates a running browser from the rest of your compuiter. - it makes it run in a sandbox -- a disposable data evironment that gets discarded at the end of each session.
And NEVER use mobile devices. Never install any toolbars. Never install any gadgets you download from the web.
If you are serious about business, never do anything with the business computer but business. Never install more apps than the essential tools you need for the business at hand.

I use ebay mobile for a year at least...fine.

Do not brag about having done unsafe things and gotten away with it.

eB and PP only analyze web and user data when certain other flags cause an account review.

Yes, you can get away crossing the street on the red light every day, just don't brag about it. You encourage unsafe behaviour in others, who may have different circumstances.
One day , you may join the ranks of those who cry on this forum.

Mobile apps have the WORST privacy of anything known to man.

Google chrome syncs with your google account and saves all of your data.
