Puppy and kitten sales at pet shops set to be banned

Google Chrome's private incognito mode leaks way more personal data than you might think
The privacy feature in the Chrome web browser claims to let people 'browse privately'
Google could continue to collect personal data from users, even if they use the incognito mode in the Chrome web browser, a study has found.
