My problem with all of it is, they've built that shit into the browser. That means baked into the browser, it is watching what I'm doing and doing things on its own based on what I do.

It leaves the door open for them to bother me/phone home anytime I do something that isn't in their interests. Are they going to add in similar things for me looking for windows, office, GitHub, or Xbox alternatives?
