My girlfriend doesn't like DDG, because its results are not personalized as Google's. I tried giving her the privacy speech, but she thinks it's fine as long as Google search is giving her the results she wants.

Any good counter-arguments?

There was actually a really good comment that got bestof'd on reddit about why you should care about privacy. I've been trying to find it for a while.

A lot of people just don't see why you should care and the comment brought up a bunch of points.

I think you might be referring to shits-n-giggle's comment here.
