People here may not like to read "Google" and "good" together, but yours is a description of how things actually work.

Of all the tracking Google does, this is by far the most justified, and least concerning to me. I'd rather log out and search anonymously, if my concern was being put in a bubble, rather than block this kind of feedback for search result quality. Then, again, I primarily use DuckDuckGo and I wonder if they do anything similar.



Yes, ddg sends out beacons to improving.duckduckgo.com when you click as well to do this.
