At the very least, if you use providers other than Google, you can decentralize it. You can give one company your search history and a different company your emails. Even if both companies are equal to Google in terms of privacy, you still end up with better overall privacy because tehy can't join the two datasets.

Can you back that up with some references? I live in Switzerland and Swiss data protection law is certainly better than American.
