Microsoft has pushed out a new release candidate of Internet Explorer 9 that includes two new privacy protections. The new IE 9 release candidate has two separate, but related, technologies aimed at giving users more control over how sites track them and what data is sent back to the site s owners. The announcement by Microsoft comes in the midst of a complex discussion among lawmakers, regulators and privacy advocates about whether a national Do-Not Track list is desirable or even feasible. The Federal Trade Commission recently proposed such a list in a report it released on privacy issues.
