Google Wants Your Web History!

Tweet

A new effort from Google could raise the ire of those concerned about Google's growing reach: the company wants to track and store every Web page you visit. The feature, called Web History, is an expanded version of the company's previous Search History offering. The idea of Web History is to enable Google Account users to look back through everything they've viewed on the Internet, be it search results, Web pages, images, or multimedia content such as video. Every URL will be stored and indexed within Google's massive infrastructure so users don't have to keep a history on their PC. Personally I think there can be some advantages to this, but it could also be very bad for maintaining your privacy online. So in my view I wouldn't want to give Google my personal online history.
