Friendly reminder that every request to any Google associated server comes at the price of having your privacy invaded. Yes, this means Google Search but also GMail, Android, reCAPTCHA, Maps (any website displaying a Google Map), Google fonts (any website using Google fonts), Google CDN (any website using Google CDN), G+ (any website using an integration) et cetera.
In fact, completing this list with ALL Google its tentacles will probably break the character limit on HN. On a very few exceptions, Google its scooping eye is there to learn more about you.
