    Privacy is my biggest thing. But, no. Then there’s the whole “I don’t to put all my eggs in one basket” argument too. Last, but not least: my battery life is also much better when all of the invasive tracking is blocked :)

      Especially when the person carrying the basket like to chuck eggs out of it at random. Never know when google will discontinue a service.

        I agree with this. I actually feel that the way they have restricted certain advanced search strings on the search engine is the most criminal of all. To me, watering down search results on a product that was previously excellent, is manipulation and control of information and thus, restricts people actual life. They are an extremely sly company and the control goes all the way to the top.

          What are examples of advanced search strings they’re restricting? I haven’t heard of this. Do other search engines restrict them?
