The Off Switch is apparently too hard for Dave:

Firefox started misbehaving, so I thought -- let's go download a fresh install. Guess what's waiting for me: no choice but to install the Google Toolbar. Remember what they said about their hack, if you don't like it, don't install it. Well, there it is. Where's the choice now. Back then I couldn't get anyone to listen. Letting Google modify our content to add links to their sites was a very bad idea then, now maybe others get that too? Now that they're doing it for the Chinese censors. Why do you guys trust Google so much . They're a corporation; they'll do whatever they have to do to make money, do you think the integrity of your writing is even the smallest little issue for them? I don't.

This has nothing to do with trust - it has to do with user options. For those slow on the uptake, there's an "options" button right on the Google toolbar. Not to mention that right clicking in the toolbar area allows you to turn the Google toolbar off. Not to mention that the Google toolbar can be uninstalled from the extension menu as well.

But hey - who wants to let a few facts get in the way of a pointless rant?
