On purpose. I only use it in desperation because I am sure that they keep shadow profiles. And they hand out personal information for $$$$$.

The only reasonable thing to do is to use a privacy ~~browser~~ SEARCH ENGINE that does not store info beyond a day (which still might be too mich)

Oops, sesrch engine, not browser.
