A9.com search engine.
The consequences on your privacy

...
After a couple of minutes, I thought about it and I find that this cannot be done by magic. I remembered all books that Amazon proposed me when I logged in with my personal account, they were most of the time really interesting. Then I thought that this would probably be the same thing with the A9 search engine. There is the result of my little research, some tips and comments for your privacy about this search engine of a new kind. Personally I’m a big customer at Amazon, I buy approximately 30 to 40 books by years on there website. However, I’ll not use the A9 search engine because I don’t want that Amazon know not only my customer habits of reading but also all other subjects that I search for on the internet. I can deal with the fact that Amazon.com uses my customer habits to propose me interesting new books. I can deal with this because this can point me out some books that I never think of before. However, I don’t want that they propose me many others things. I need to control the pub that popup in my view. It’s what I do by doing the choice of not using this new search engine.
