It can be very difficult to believe in privacy these days. At every turn, we're asked to give up personal information to register for nearly everything online. We're seemingly tracked down every digital path we travel. Add to that the practically daily data breaches that hit the news, and online privacy may appear to be merely a pipe dream. Despite the fact that the first internet browser was introduced 30 years ago, we still don't have answers and privacy controversies rage on.

The fact that Apple is profiting off of Google search ads seems to be in direct contradiction with that commitment. "</li>
