Still a bit light on features though, I do find google maps and image searches very useful.
I am already fed up with being stalked by adverts though. A very poorly thought through Idea, the idea of ads is to inform you of new things you don't know that your interested in. Not chase you with everything illogically related to some search you did. I have never worn a bow tie in my life, and have absolutely no idea why google thinks I like them.

How does it compare to Startingpage? https://startingpage.com/eng/protect-privacy.html

Wait, they recently changed names to Startpage, guess that "ing" was too hard to remember.... I blame myspace and twatter for this.

Oops, I seem to have deleted my google bookmark... :)

I think a lesson in the law of unintended consequences is about to be had.

yes, for those who want to delete their search history and, hence, the profiling of you done by them, click here:

https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogi ... authuser=0

log in,

then click on Pause, then click on Remove all Web History

this will stop them from retaining your web searches which they use to profile you.
