Now I can go on but I think 8 so far is more than enough to say why Phorm is bad for Customers, privacy, ISPs and Simon.
Not to mention the fact that if you (as either a consumer or website owner) don't want Google to "profile" you, then they do seem to respect your wishes, and even you don't believe they are respecting your wishes, their methods are easy to block.
