- curiousgal 10y agoI always use a VPN so I am not worried about my IP address getting listed somewhere but I only hope Google does delete my search history... Yeah I'm on that list now.
- DKnoll 10y agoMany VPNs do actually leak your IP address. Beyond that, your VPN traffic could be associated with your billing information for said VPN. Also by coresponding the traffic to the VPN and coming out of the VPN. Or if you have any personal information associated with your Google account or have ever accessed it with an IP associated with you. Look out the window. They're in the ice cream truck.

- ashitlerferad 10y agoSoftware engineers are already on the NSA exploit-their-hardware-so-we-can-insert-backdoors list.
- mirimir 10y agoSad but true :( But not, at least, on no-fly lists.
