I agree - even though I sometimes type ' google is your friend' in response to posts here, google is not your friend!
It is not so much paranoia, but rather it is the simple principle of not rewarding people who are serial abusers of pretty much everything that I think is fair, and honest and respectful among human beings.
But I do block Facebook at the hosts file level on all my boxen... let's not even go there...

And that is really what all of these shenanigans reduce to: the lack of simple respect and decency for fellow humans.

As do I also block all things facebook. Not only for security reasons but I believe facebook is one of humanity's greatest hoaxes and a severe waste of energy and time. |

If you are implying that blocking cookies directly results in poor search results, I doubt that very much. Most of the noise in google searches is a result of copy-cat web sites (such as web forum spider sites) that google does not filter, resulting in all of those results appearing. |

The problem with google is that you don't have to use google, but they still use you... way too much dbus shenanigans.
Edit:
I'm pretty sure I've got my answer on the original post, so I'm marking this one solved..

Wow. That is quite a step up from the ancient home server that I understand was being used before.
When did this massive upgrade in hosting happen?
