And yet another DRM related privacy intrusion.
What apps are doing similar tasks on your HD -
for content industry and any other third party interests but that of the the end-user, who is the product that is being sold.
It stays intrusion even when you call it privacy-respecting intrusion, digitally watermarked, no DRM ;D
To see particular content search results we have to use the “duck duck go” search engine,
because google and adobe etc. partner up ever closer with content industry,
and now are also hiding your non-DRM search results or put them to a lower ranking site or in the slow lane even.
Whose computer is this? How can you be protected against these intrusions?
Am I the only user that is aware what is going on - marketeers to rule this world?

This for instance is happening when you switch to use Google Chrome to make your ISP aware you are now on Google:

Actually with all their servers being on Chrome and/or iron does not matter for me.
As far as I can establish there is no better privacy in firefox over chrome.
But searching my hard disk for DRM-related content is just too much.

Here is an E-reader privacy chart for you,: https://www.eff.org/pages/reader-privacy-chart-2012
With Google now partenering further with content-industry and also regulating search-results for being DRM-approved or not
and putting all other content lower in the charts, so you have a hard time to find it,
anyone may decide what search results you will get served up - with just one exclusion only - and that is you.
