A September 13 post on the Chromium Project website has revealed that Internet search giant Google has started adding its `Do Not Track' privacy feature to the latest developer's build of the company's open-source web browser, Chrome.

Even though the post clearly mentioned the inclusion of `Do Not Track' in Chrome's latest developer's build, the built-in availability of the privacy feature for Chrome users will have to wait till the next browser's release version is ready.

The `Do Not Track' feature will give users the ability to direct their Web browsers to hide their personal web-searches-related details with the help of the `Do Not track' controls which are being integrated into some browsers. Since their information will remain hidden, users will be able to block advertisers and websites from collecting and using those details to push targeted online ads on the basis of their search behavior.

Meanwhile, though official details on Google Chrome's inclusion of `Do Not Track' feature in the latest developer's build are still limited, it is the privacy feature will probably become available to all Chrome users before 2012-end, after going through the development and beta stages.

Noting that Google will be honoring a Do Not Track-related earlier-this-year agreement between the Internet industry and the White House, Google spokesman Rob Shilkin said in an emailed statement that the company was making the setting "visible" in its Chromium developer channel, "so that it will be available in upcoming versions of Chrome by year's end."
