Maybe in a prophylactic section.
- Only well known browsers are profiled. So it would be good advice to get the User Agent extension for FF or to use Opera.
- The effect of blocking cookies
- The dephormation FF addin.

Respectfully: How do you know this is all that they do? - This is what they say they do (now), but what else is going on? Unless you can get hands-on and disassemble their code (not exactly easy!), we have only their word for it. And we do know that they are a bunch of lying, spyware-purveying, Russian *******s. If they said "Here, download this neat little root kit, it will keep you safe and make you money" would you do it? What is the difference?
