    I hate this "Personalized based on your web history" from Google. Doesn't it kinda screw up new sites?

    I consider it a invasion of privacy to say the least as it shouldn't concern them what sites i visit
    or what i type into the search but then you will hear there famous quote: You dont like it dont use it ...

    Yeah, I absolutely hate it too. So far it's only showing up once in a while when I'm doing a search, I guess because they're still testing the popularity of the feature and also because I clear cookies all the time. But still. How is a search engine going to know what I like? I don't even know what I like. I surf all kind of random places, especially when I'm doing research or brainstorming about a new niche to go into.

    Leave me alone, Big G!
