Google And Privacy

SubtleNuance writes "A recent Cnet Article details the privacy concerns raised by Google's new browser Plug-In. Google's browser addon will "tell us what site you're visiting which it does by sending us the URL.". The site makes its intentions more clear than most by stating "you may be sending information about the sites you visit to Google" in its click through agreement during install. This type of software (broswer-search-plugin) isn't exactly in high use amongst the /. im sure, but what does this say about the leading technology companies on the Web - and the compromise associated with profit making in the dot-com era." Sounds to me like Google is making a good effort with what is inherently a privacy-invading product.
