Internet giant companies, including Google, have agreed to include a new "no tracking" option in most web browsers, according to foreign media reports. The internet industry has resisted the move for more than a year.
The reversal, however, was partly due to the White House's call for Congress to pass the Privacy Protection Act. The bill will give people more control over personal privacy.
It is understood that the Internet industry has a large number of privacy disclosure problems. Facebook recently agreed to address U.S. government accusations that Facebook's privacy settings are unfair and deceptive to consumers. Last week, Google admitted it avoided the problem of Internet users using Apple's iphone, ipad and Internet browser software installed on their computers.

These internet companies agree that they will no longer be given customized ads based on internet browsing habits. They said they would no longer post information about recruitment, credit, medical or insurance based on user information. But the information will still be used for "market research" and "product development" purposes, and user information can still be obtained by legal administrators.
