These days, whenever I think about Google, I recall a line from Madame Bovary. “She wanted to die, but she also wanted to live in Paris,” Flaubert writes, capturing Emma Bovary’s provincial reality and her romanticized dreams of escape. That is Google in a nutshell, isn’t it?

Absolutely, I do. You have been paying Google: with your privacy, viewing tons of ads, and manipulation via rigged search results. Fixing that is worth the price to me. I admit it requires a shift in mindset, but I couldn’t go back now.
