The easy way is go to the Google Chrome App store, or whatever they call it, and add an extension to Chrome. There are a few different options there, I personally use the AVG Do Not Track extension because I use their anti-virus suite and trust them more than some developer I don't know anything about. The others probably are fine, to be fair, but like they say, just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean that they aren't watching you!
