Google's CEO is *still* funding Obama, even after the election. What does he expect in return?

It's no secret that Google wants to basically own the Internet from Youtube to you name it. They want to be to the Internet what Microsoft was to desktops.

What would Obama get in return for having Congress pass Internet regulations that only favor Google? Google will collect data via searches and censor information not privy to the Government view.

Can you say "Communism", no different than China and Google has already censored information relative to Obama searches. It is fact. Google is guilty of censorship in favor of their Candidate etc.

Do not use Google.

If you want to mess with Google, consider CustomizeGoogle.

It is a Firefox extension (IE version available too, but I haven't tried it).

CustomizeGoogle allows you to stop them from tracking you and blocks their annoying ads (Ads = revenue for them). It also allows you to use secure/encrypted (https) Google pages. It does much more than that, just click on the above link and read up or watch the introduction movie.

As I said, CG for IE is available: CG4ie.com. I haven't used it (I avoid IE like the plague due to it's security issues, among other things) but it appears to be endorsed by CG (CustomizeGoogle for Internet Explorer)

Disclaimer: If you use gmail and do a search, while logged in, I think Google will track you based on your gmail (or other account) login cookie.

For maximum effect, let your friends and family know about it. First, it allows for more secure and private use of Google's services without the stupid ads ( and the more who use it the harder Google is hit. Otherwise, Clusty seems to be the next best alternative, IMO.

Well, I surf with JS turned off (actually constrained by NoScript) and pop ups are disabled, and I don’t see any unwanted stuff on google. And I only use the search engine, nothing more that they offer. So I don’t see how they make money off me.

What do you think of AltaVista?

Does AltaVista have bad politics too?
