Tough. Google's results are, in part, created from their tracking. If you object to the tracking then you shouldn't use the output of said tracking.

>Tough.

It's not my job to look out for Google's interests. "You're the product, not the customer," remember? Why should I concern myself with the quality of Google's product?

Why? I doubt it has any negative impact on Google if a tiny fraction of their users go through a proxy, and I'm having trouble thinking of another reason to oppose doing so.
