Remember kids, there's a pernicious reason why #Google redirects "http://maps.google.com" to "http://google.com/maps". Because of this redirect, the location permission that you grant to Google Maps also automatically becomes available to Google Search - making your search queries more valuable to advertisers.

@nilesh arrrg. Thanks for this!!! I'm feeling really stupid that I haven't ever thought about that. I was wondering what the reason was many times.  @nilesh I only use Google Maps (*if* I use it - most times, I use openstreetmap) in the Private Browsing window. I am well aware that browser fingerprinting can still leak my browser identity but at least it makes it a bit harder - cookies are contained. Of course I do not use a Google account. @isotopp |
