Except that you have no idea when you interact with Google. When you go 
to a website these days (e.g nytimes.com - just tested this now, but 
most sites are the same or similar) you without knowing and without 
being warned (GDPR warning) already have interacted with Google. So that 
is why even for stuff that wants to interact with Google I want them to 
go to my resolver so that I can block it there.

Now I understand that there are other scenarios where distributing 
traffic might better from a privacy perspective, but we should make sure 
that whatever we do we come up with something that allows different ways 
to solve this, which IMHO Tommys draft does.

So long
