Google Toolbar - Is Big Brother Watching?

Having the Google Toolbar installed lets Google see where you go, when you go, how long your there and more.

I did a test with a number of domains and using the Google toolbar this test showed conclusively that the spider was finding these domains and putting them in the database.

Websites that had no links to them or links out either were found in the Google database.  If they know what sites you go to and regester them what more sensitve information are they tracking. Look for Google to find ways to entice us with toys and goodies so they can learn even more about our search and surf patterns
