I highly prefer the lack of plugins. Clean perfect interface for me. It feels a lot faster to me, initial load times and page displays especially.
As for firefox and its bloated crappiness, no thanks. I have no use for its extra features.
Please...it's corporate. Soon or later schemes show up, not to mention the hindering of any potential competition.
Google earth/maps makes loads of money from businesses (Google earth pro?), and probobly even the government (Hey! There's G.W. choking on a pretzel!).
Youtube brings in TONS of business partners from all over bringing them plenty of connections. I'm sure this is no loss on their part
Their email logs everything so they probobly do algorythmic research on all its content, and just who knows what connections the cia or other orgs have with them on all their data. Recently going to show that they log addresses of clients and their actions (even google searches)
No idea on the others as I don't use them.
oh, and I just found these in mid-post:

I'm sure the same logging goes for traffic to their webhosting. Data bandits.

Google claims that mail sent to or from Gmail is never read by a human being beyond the account holder, and is only used to improve relevance of advertisements
