Microsoft: Google Bypasses Privacy Settings in Internet Explorer, Too

Microsoft is now also claiming that Google is bypassing certain privacy setting in Internet Explorer like it has with Safari.

In a blog post written by Dean Hachamovitch, Microsoft’s corporate vice president for Internet Explorer, the software giant alleges that Google is using similar methods — though the actual bypass mechanism is different — to get around default privacy protections in Internet Explorer and track IE users with cookies.

Privacy is something that companies like to pay attention to when it works to their advantage.  I would rather the companies focus on getting this issue resolved than turning it into a smear campaign.
