lol not this google is going to be evil crud,
solution is simple, don't use google
google is number 1 because of its coolness factor, the minute it starts to abuse peoples private data is the minute the company starts to crash, it will not be an abuser because they know what'll happen when they start.
if your worried they know what kind of sites your looking at then I sure as hell don't want to know what kind of sites your into :S
