That defeats the purpose of using Google products in the first place.
I use the history to find websites or pages that I may want to refer
back to that I may not have bookmarked.  And since it's a web based
service, it works on all computers that I've logged onto.

It defeats (to some extent) Google using information it gathers from and about me for its own purposes, when I use some of their products. At best Google (and some other companies) is like one of those friends that you see infrequently and, when you do, they try to sell you something or get you to invest in some just-this-side-of-legal scheme. As such, I will either not use those products or exercise this right.

I'm sure Google is orders of magnitude more important to me than I am to it but, if push came to shove, I could manage perfectly well without it.


Just out of curiosity, what harm comes to you from Google, or anyone else, collecting this information?

Don't know.  But a) it's mine and b) what good comes of it?

It's kind of like the devil offering you something for your immortal soul. It seems most peoples response is, "Sounds good, I wasn't doing anything with it anyway."
