"How much protection money would you pay google to not: (1) track you on just about every site you visit, (2) know exactly where you are at all times because of that little GPS you carry around with you, (3) tie-in your purchases from brick and mortars to identify what you like to buy, (4) maintain a full history of things you have been interested in (searched for) so they can market stuff to you"
For #1, I am hoping that the tracking blocker plugin I use has already done this.
For #2, I've tried disabling the tracking stuff on my phone and it basically completely hamstrings the device's built-in assistant to the point of being useless. So I don't know a way around this one.
For #3, "May I have a phone number or email for your purchase?" "No, you may not."
For #4, I've disabled search history to the best of my knowledge, but I don't for one minute think they are not still using it internally.
I would not pay Google. I would switch to a search engine of comparable quality that sells ads based upon what was immediately searched for, and not based upon their tracking and identification scheme. I like the idea of DuckDuckGo but I haven't gotten the same quality yet.
