	<title>Personalized Search From Google Now Opt-Out</title>

	<htmltext>An anonymous reader writes <i>"CNet reports that 'Google now intends to <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939\_109-10409885-2.html">deliver customized search results</a> even to those searching its site <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/personalized-search-for-everyone.html">without having signed into a Google account</a>.' This may be what finally drives me to seriously experiment with cookie-free browsing.  I consider non-personalized search results to be of value.   They quasi-subconsciously give me a better perspective of the full range of information and ideas on the net.

	<htmltext>Personally, I do not like the idea of my search and browsing habits being tracked by anyone, in any capacity.  I cannot speak for whatever country you live in, but here in the USA, our government has a history of monitoring citizens without warrants and without concern for the constitution.  Google have a massive database of our browsing habits is the last thing we need, given that the courts already declared that email stored on a third party server is not covered by the 4th amendment.</htmltext>

        * Keep a text file with all passwords in encrypted form - and, do not use the same password for different purposes.
