    The problem with tracking is it will never stop, regardless if you do not use those services or not. Just being on the internet you are being tracked. There is no real way to stop it.

    You're right Andrew but "why add insult to injury"? I try my best to steer clear of anything with Google in the name. At one time I was going to try Chrome browser until I found out it was Google. Even here on this forum I see lots of anti-Google posts but yet lots of referrals, gets a bit confusing.
    Just my 2 cents worth.
