Secondly, there never was anything such as privacy on the internet. There never will be. Any time you enter something into a browser, it sends it to another computer. Thus no more privacy. Google, Apple and other insanely large businesses have the capacity to save everything anyone ever does on the web, all the time every time. So every browser you use will have every browsing session you have ever had stored somewhere. Google especially is known for buying server farms by the acre, but they are not the only one. They also have their own server architecture, firmware, and software to access it all as quickly as possible.

The only way to have privacy on the internet is to never use the internet. And in reality that is not enough, because all yellow pages and almost all directories in paper have an internet version as well.

The time has come for you to be comfortable and happy for everyone to know everything about you, because that will be the reality sooner rather than later.

The problem is that googe has steped a bit over the line of not informing the consumer what their sofware is doning.

Granted, there have always been spyware/trojan programs but, with google chrome, (among some others) this has gone mainsteam big time. It is no longer a pactice of small dishonest, often freeware software peddlers.
Also, even when you uninstall chrome, the spyware remains. At least I'm computer savy so, I was able to track it down and manualy delete the files and prevent from from running any fraction of it I could not delete.
However what about those who are not as computer savy?
