A lot of the stuff covered in these google areas are down to the user not changing the various settings.

Google knows very little about me as in my Internet settings, etc. I go for anonymity over content.

All mine are empty... AOS takes care of the tracking and I empty my temps when I close IE :)

I use Ghostery to block almost every tracker. In Firefox I use the...options>privacy...to block
even more cookies. AdBlock Plus helps a lot too. Ghostery can be used to block Google Analytics.

Blur is also a nice extension inside Chrome (the extension formerly known as DNTM).
