|After installing Google Chrome, the user gets asked to check the "ad privacy" settings. There are 3 options in this menu, each with a toggle hidden inside a sub-menu. The first one (ad topics) is disabled by default, while the other 2 start off enabled. This can trick some users into assuming that all of the toggles are disabled by default after seeing the first one. | |After installing Google Chrome, the user gets asked to check the "ad privacy" settings.
