Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it is fairly easy to detect the noise generated by this kind of tools and retrieve the real history, for example: users can generate a bunch of fake entries in their browsing history but if at the same hour every day they visit the same websites, well, that is some regularity that can be exploited.

Anyway, history can be sold even with noise, in this case users will see mostly ads about products in which they are not interested in, which could be, I think, much more annoying.

Maybe I have been lucky, but I was in your same situation 3 months ago: 26, no job experience, soon to have a MSc degree in CS. I had your same fears when I published my resume on a portal that my uni makes available to students for making them in touch with companies, since then I've been contacted three times in the first two weeks and now that I found a job there are still other companies sending me emails offering me to have a job interview. The same thing happened to some of my friends.

Note that I was an average student, certainly not in the top of my course.
