Going beyond with Chrome: Google tracks your browsing habits and modifies it's search output to your browsing habits. It also sells ads based on your habits*. You are worth between $50 and $5,000 to internet advertisers.  Make it work for you and consider using one Google account for work and one for personal life.  You might surprised by the improvement in search results when you stick to separate accounts.  This also means using Chrome exclusively for work and another browser for your personal life.  Chrome is the only browser that let's you access docs offline.  

Avoiding Ads: To hide all of the ads from your browsing use Ad Block Plus, a free plugin for most browsers.

Don't let advertisers track you:  Disconnect.me is a great plugin for Chrome that blocks advertisers from tracking you when you visit a website, it also loads pages faster.  Disconnect.me will not stop the tracking of what you are searching for in Google, it will stop the tracking when you visit a webpage that you searched for.  If you want anonymous searching, Disconnect.me offers a search tool that keeps searches private, but then you lose the improved search results.
