> Google DNS is not used in any way to associate to your Google account

OK, but it's still used to gather more information about how people are using the internet - what domains are popular, where they are being loaded from, etc. etc. etc.

There's nothing wrong with that. Also all those sites already have Google Analytics anyway which gives far better data than DNS queries.
