   And google makes big 'governmet' look pale by comparison to the SPYING and   
   TRACKING they do.

   I use Ad Blocker Plus to put an end to all that SPAM. It's a terrifying   
   feeling to know that there are such Dangerous Vermin out there as to have   
   the idea that  if you look for something, or use something they have ANY   
   connection to BEFORE THE FACT whatsoever, that they somehow automatically   
   become entitled to INSINUATE themselves into and INVADE and your life and   
   Privacy...DISRESPECTFUL FASCIST BASTARDS!!!...SCUM!!!

   Or you go to sites, many of them, that pop up all kinds of  CRAP that has   
   NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with why you're there and what you're looking for,   
   and the popup disables your browsing until you close it, thus not only   
   Wasting your time but possibly Distracting you from what you're trying to do   
   in the first place.   
   Or the  sites that pop up a complaint to the effect that you're not allowing   
   Spying/Tracking cookies, and the popup doesn't go away until you click some   
   silly acknowledgement of that, usually in the  form of "Got it"...as though   
   you're somehow doing something 'wrong' by making  efforts to preserve your   
   security online!!!
