#22Wow, did not know that this existed. Now I know that across 11 thousand searches on Google, AAPL was my top search, and that my search activity spikes on Mondays and declines through the rest of the week: http://o7.no/wiL2jx

#24As far as I know, Google Takeout doesn't support Web History. If they supported it, I'd take out my search history in a heartbeat.
As it stands now, I do sometimes refer back to it, but I don't think it's worth having it if it means giving up the information to advertisers as well.

#25Show of hands: Who is actually going to do this? Who isn't?
I likely won't. Reason being, if I want customized, "filtered" searches, Google is where to be. If I want privacy and/or unfiltered searches, I'll use Duck Duck Go and Blekko.
If trust becomes an issue with Google, I won't just clear my search history, I'll leave for good.

Ever since they made this possible I've had web history turned off / paused.
If I don't need that data, they sure as hell don't need it.

I'll admit I was actually considering switching 100% to another search engine and using purely Firefox....

#30The official title of the article is "How to Remove Your Google Search History Before Google's New Privacy Policy Takes Effect", and the writing itself is much more neutral than this submission title. I'm still not sure why people are afraid of Google's new privacy policy. I understand that there are people who have specific privacy needs, but outside that scope I doubt you have anything to worry about. It's doubtful…
I don't want to be put in a glasshouse where google introduce bias on its own agenda on search results. The claim that it is for my best is also a claim made by all the spammers. Google is also subordinate to US interests and this is another problem for people like me who live out of the US.
Without saying so, google is building its own great wall of china, but worse, around each individual using google search. I'm using DuckDuckGo for now.
I understand that SEO are corrupting search result pertinence and google is trying to do something about it. But there is no guarantee that it's new strategy will make things better.
