This always makes me scratch my head. I can understand people not wanting their personal data to be farmed, but not this reason that's often espoused, i.e. that Google (or someone else) are going to provide targetted adverts.
You don't get any
more adverts than you would otherwise, you just get adverts more tailored to your habits. You're just as free to ignore them as you were for totally random adverts.
