Avoiding giving information about yourself to Google

Google Alarm Alerts You When Your Info Goes to Google, Preston Gralla, PCWorld (Aug 19)

Don't want to give any information about yourself to Google as you surf the web? Try Google Alarm addon with the Firefox browser.

"If you're determined to stay away from sites that send information about you to the search giant, Google Alarm will tell you which sites to avoid. Of course, given how many sites send information back to Google, that may not be practical. At a minimum, though, it's a constant reminder of just much of your information leaves your control--and goes under Google's."
