Can google (and other sites) track you if you only use them once? For example, I buy a new computer and the only internet browser is Chrome. I double click on it and then in the search at the top of the homepage I type "download firefox" or whatever and it uses a google search. I never use chrome or type www.google ever again.

If a site has to load external resources from Google's CDN, then you're being tracked. Happens all the time. Install a script blocker. Sucks, but a lot of websites, that I'd like to try out, are off limits because of this.

4chan requires a google script to run captcha. Everyone there is being tracked in some way if they engage in speech.

You IP address gives you away. Get a VPN.

VPN helps but it doesnt fix everything, like shitty progs (chrome) from tattling on you and sending data back to the mothership right through your VPN.

VPN protects you from attacks that havent gotten inside your perimeter yet
