Google has announced plans to eliminate unique IDs in Google Chrome due to privacy concerns.

"Supplementing other measures to improve the browser's reputation for data protection, in a white paper on Chrome data protection, Google has announced that it will in future delete the token once Google Chrome runs and checks for updates the first time," according to The H Security. "From version 4.1, the allegedly anonymous ID will only be used to report successful installation of the browser to Google."

"This step is largely symbolic, as Chrome has never attempted to identify users using the client ID, which is reassigned each time the browser is updated," the article states.
