Today I found out that google docs infects html exports with spyware, no scripts, but links in your document are replaced with invisible google tracking redirects.

Literally went from being my favorite company to just an unethical bag of poo for me. Hope whoever's forcing these engineers to create privacy invading spyware eats a bag of dicks.
