It does not matter whether the code is permanently installed on your
computer (though Google's tracking cookies certainly are), because
it is simply loaded again and again. There is no notice.
As for malicious intent: YMMV, but I certainly do not trust any
multi-billion dollar monopolistic corporation, and least of all Google,
which has a long track record of anticompetitive and invasive practices.
