Why wouldn't you want your search engine to use what contextual information it knows about you when attempting to provide you quality, relevant answers to the questions you're asking it?
- alkonaut 7y agoI’m ok with seeing a shoe ad if I google shoes. It’s fine to do a geo lookup of my up to show a local offer too. That’s context from the request. That should be enough. I’m not ok with seeing anything that requires them storing information I don’t want them to store (eg search history, behavior on other sites such as past purchases). I’d rather have worse results. Google works great in a private browser using a vpn, I don’t need whatever extra they can bring with my info.
