You seem to be more upset at Google than the sites you visit that choose to use them as a source of revenue.

Makes perfect sense to me since Google earns most of their revenue from privacy invasion. Their entire business model depends on it. No one is more insidious, pervasive and widespread.

You really are just making claims without any evidence. If you have evidence that no one is more insidious, pervasive and widespread please prove it. Otherwise, I can only assume you are just speaking based on feelings.
Here is your proof. This just one of many available sources on the subject but the study being referenced here was done by Princeton University.

If you actually read the study, you'd see with ad blocking enabled that Google was the least pervasive, widespread and insidious. If anything, this study shows that although that Google may be the most widespread, again thanks to the sites that you're visiting without an adblocker that you refuse to hold accountable, that they are the least invasive and insidious.
... that they are the least invasive and insidious.

Yes, that undoubtedly explains how they earn $200 billion a year.
