Privacy or paranoia?

There have been a fair number of posts here recently re Google's (and others'), predilection for recording everyone's search history. An easy solution, of course, is to manually delete the cookie that Google uses to identify the searcher. Yeah, fine, but a pain. Enter G-Zapper, a free utility which might help.
"G-Zapper helps you protect your identity and valuable attention data. G-Zapper will read the Google cookie(s) installed on your PC, display the date it was installed, and determine how long your searches have been tracked. G-Zapper allows you to delete or entirely block the Google search cookie from future installation".
