Not even an opt-out available ... I guess I'm gonna see alot of ads for Google Cloud now.

Edit: Sure can do! Fired up Chrome (without uBlock) visited the site. Searched for "hot dog pizza" on Google. Visited first link and got a Adsense ad for AWS. What madness it is having to put up with these illegal shenanigans from Google.

Google is shit.

Kagi is about to go public with their search engine and it blows Google out of the water completely. I've been using it for a few weeks as my default search and its awesome.

Having a simple search engine who's purpose is to answer querries like "What is Lady Gaga's bra size" is fine from a ethical and legal standpoint. It is the ever present spying I distaste.

Now Google probably have me tagged as a HN user thanks to their landing page getting a visitor spike from HN.

Even if I hadn't visit the site in Chrome to check the spying effects they surely pair me with other HN readers who use Chrome.
