I don't get why context relevant ads are bad. If I am going to see ads, I would rather they be ads that might be useful.
As long as they aren't releasing my mail for all to see, and it's an automated thing... so what.

I think a lot of people on here somehow got the idea that Google is transmitting your personal information to the advertisers/clients, which is obviously nonsense.
All this does is build a rough profile of your interests and then shows you adverts relevant to those interests.
