Google's creeping ownership of my internet

I just realized how far-reaching Google's control over my internet is.

They handle my email, my feed reader, and my blog which you are reading this very moment (plus the ads I put on it and the service for tracking visitor statistics).

Thanks to YouTube they provide me with pretty much all the videos out there. With their search engine, of course, they're my portal to the rest of the internet. 

And now they have my browser.

I feel like a person that just looked into a mirror for the first time in a long time and realized how fat I've become. And I know I should go on a diet, change my lifestyle. But the strawberry milkshakes are so damn good.

  2. I'm not sure yet... I've been using it since it came out, mostly to try it out until something annoys me enough to push me back to Firefox, but it's been almost a week and I'm still using it. :)

  3. I can hear it... "All your Internetz are belong to us"

    Seriously now, Google as the superpower of the Internet... very interesting idea for a sci-fi work...
