Others have already chimed in. My reading proposal:
https://panopticlick.eff.org/
It's Google's core business. They even invest a lot of money in clients
(Mozilla, Chrome, Android). Why should they refrain from that?
When I say they "know" you I mean not personally, but statistically. It's
not some Evil Mastermind (TM) who is after you, but simple, plain, cold
business.
It doesn't make sense to go all paranoid over that. I know that even if
I keep my own mail server they analyze all my mails (enough of my peers
have an @gmail address, enough of my stuff is in public mailing lists,
ready for harvesting), but I see it as my duty to not feed that machine
beyond what's "reasonable" (yes, this is a judgement call).
