Well, the upside is that this is still empty after I disabled everything last time this was posted.

  "No activity." It probably does make sense to periodically check.

  Can you please share how to disable the tracking of the activities? Just pause everything? Have you noticed a decay in the quality of your search results?

    I've had everything paused but device info and youtube history for a few months now. I have not noticed any significant change in the quality of search results. Though I primarily use DuckDuckGo I have to fall back on Google every now and again (or use Google to get different results). Google is still better at inferring what I mean in a search than DuckDuckGo. Google seems to take into account current events, my location, and pop culture better than DuckDuckGo. I have not noticed any effect from changing my privacy permissions.

  Is https://myaccount.google.com/purchases https://myaccount.google.com/purchases empty as well for you?

    Mine finally is :) I got a shock when I first saw that link on HN, it motivated me to finally purge my email archives on gmail. The purchases didn't disappear immediately, but they do seem to have finally gone now.

    Yep!

  I had everything disabled but I was forced to enable it to use my Google Home properly. Somehow the Spotify<->Google Home integration didn't work unless I turned on web activity. Makes no sense.
