If you're being tracked, it's by the sites you visit as a esult of following links in your feeds. If, instead of using a local client, you use something like Google Reader, That could track you, nd I'm not sure how you'd know for sure.

Me too. Perhaps something happened that resulted in NetworkManager running this time around, yet not last week, or perhaps it's got something to do with one of the things I edited in /etc/blablabla. Anyway it worked after a reboot so it doesn't seem like a fluke.

You can boot the live system and then 'chroot' into the installed system to do whatever needs to be done to fix the problem (I assume you need to edit /etc/default/grub and run 'update-grub'). That is not that easy for a GNU/Linux beginner. If you feel brave enough, read this documentation
