   Are you one of the 140 million people who have downloaded Web of Trust (WoT)?   
   You might want to uninstall it - for now at least.   
      
   WoT pulls browser extension after privacy failure   
      
   [quote]   
       First, it seems that WoT has been collecting the browsing history of its   
   millions of users and has been selling this data to third parties.   
      
       Second, and even worse, it seems the firm did not properly anonymise the   
   data it collects on its users, which potentially allows others to expose the   
   identity of the users and all their personal details.
