Today I found out that google docs infects html exports with spyware, no scripts, but links in your document are replaced with invisible google tracking redirects. I was using their software because a friend wanted me to work with him on a google doc, he is a pretty big fan of their software, but we were both somehow absolutely shocked that they would go that far.
Everytime I try to google anything that might be remotely related to a product every result will be a store.
I'd never have assumed that they just replaced my query but in hindsight it's kinda obvious
Yeah I noticed they got very shopping oriented in the last year or so, but I didn't anticipate this. Yikes.
