Not a chance. I like the vestiges of privacy that remain to me, and
don't want to turn control of my computer over to any website running

Google is the Combined Corporations main Internet spying tool.

Is it open source? I doubt it. And I don't install anything that isn't
open source, having a functioning mind.
