No, I too think targeted advertising is awesome. I am a consumer, and I
dare say you are too. If you deny it then that's fine. Denial is a powerful

It's simple .. the ATO doesn't yet have access to the databases of Google
and the NSA.
There is a few things you can do.
1) use DuckDuckGo as your search provider
2) remove all your history from Chrome (and the other browsers for that
matter). - I got a shock and found over 155000 entries in my history dating
back some years
3) only run your browser in private mode
For Chrome:
5.) Delete all social media accounts.
6.) Stop using any device that's connected. I forget the name of it but

There's nothing actually *wrong *with it (except arguably that it's created
