I' ve never felt threatened by Google. I just liked to see some of their revenue coming into this country.

Not likely in the same way as with Amazon.

I do like Amazon they even know what I want to buy before I do.  :blush:

I'm not worried about google selling my browsing history. It wouldn't be very exciting and do what if I get a few targeted ads? I already mentally block out ads without thinking about it so wouldn't notice a difference.

Good old google  :eyebrow: The fact that people dont care they are tracked by google around the web worries me more than googles tracking tbh...privacy, why do people give it up so easily with the 'what have I got to hide' line (no offence) thats not the point, and I see it as a dangerous attitude.  :shake:
Damned, if you do damned if you don't

It's not that I don't care,it's well down on my list of what to worry about in life. I can't stop the govt agencies keeping a record of my internet usage either.

No, but if they get a foothold in the market, they will either get told not to spy or at least help build infrastructure. Hopefully anyhow.
