Does this kind of thing matter to people? Why or why not? It’s anonymous, yes?
You posted two different questions.
Do you care if your browser tracks your history?
Would you change browsers based on its cookies tracking your history?
I suspect most would answer Yes to the first and No to the second. Why the No? because people don't care enough. And they're lazy. And they're stupid.90% of users just go with the defaults. And the defaults are set up to own you. A few might be savvy enough to change some settings that the Google machine says will make your browser more "secure" and a handful might look at an alternative browser.
Me, if I want to go somewhere that might be dodgy, I simply use Private Browsing (or Incognito or whatever your browser might call it). If the NSA wants to know where I've been, I'm sure Comcast can provide that -- although that might be a chore since I use a third party DNS.
The best way to at least minimize the exposure is to use an alternative browser like Firefox, a good adblocker like uBlock Origin, and a HOST file.
My wife's Lexus is metallic white.
Still have one of those...
Counter. High performance euro SUVs are stupid. Buy the sport car. Lay a towel in the passage seat. Enjoy.
Can ones wife see what one searches for on Instagram? Asking for a friend...
I do not care. Nothing in my browsing history to get arrested for, and after that, why else is there to care?Google Will Keep Chrome Tracking Cookies—And You Will Still Be Tracked

Mine is so big and so beautiful that every six months my urologist makes me come in so she can cop a feel.
