   See. This is your *real* problem. Your wanting to get something   
    for nothing attitude.   
      
   Nothing is free in this world.   
      
   Google is a business. And business needs to make money. Google   
    provides loads of free stuff, but their product is you. Customer   
    data is what they use in order to make advertising as profitable   
    to their real customers: the advertisers.   
      
   You can try to circumvent it, but as you're seeing, it's so   
    ingrained in everything they do that it's essentially   
    futile.   
      
   If you were serious about 'privacy' you wouldn't use anything   
    Google related. There are plenty of products that do what you   
    want. However they are invariably not 'free'.   
      
   Or, you can continue this 'stoopid' charade of trying to beat   
    Google. You ain't gonna win. They have more smarts, more money   
    and more ability than you'll ever have Alice/Paul/Joe/etc
