Make sure you control what Google knows about your browsing habits:



Google Web History

How to make it stop collecting your history


Mine was disabled by default (probably a setting I had selected before), but still made sure it stopped collecting any.

You can ry to ridicule this, and it's not a conspiracy, it is about selling your data to people and generate profiles of what you did and are interested in, which can then be sold at even higher prices.
I have cancelled my account today.

Another nice idea is to get a free eMail adress, then a new Google account with said address, enter some things like being 94 years old, interested in history blahblah and then NOT receive viagra offers via google lol

Greetings,

I often use Google for online searches but I don't have a Google account and never will have one especially after reading this.
