I usually don't use Google for my searching but added the g! tag to a DuckDuckGo search today. After closing the search window I found a pop-up "welcoming chrome users" (which I'm not) and inviting me to take a survey. The only choice presented was OK. No way to decline.

I certainly did not want to take their survey, and there was no assurance it actually was google.

Closing my browser and reopening didn't work. Finally managed to open another tab and did a CNTR-close to close all other tabs.

Bar-stewards. They are aligning themselves with bottom feeding scum.
