They don't do anything that their own search engine, those search
toolbars, or Yahoo doesn't do. That site looks like sort of a fringe
site to me. Who cares if the ads are irrelevant if they are easy to
ignore and you therefore don't notice them anyway? Who in their right
mind really *wants* targeted advertising like Google, Yahoo, Excite,
and practically everybody else does, so why should one complain that
the advertising isn't 100% relevant?

Anyway, it's a good screen to keep spam out of your regular inbox and
it threads mailing list discussions nicely. The amount of storage
space you get makes it a nice place to store file attachments that you
need to access from elsewhere. And if you are concerned about privacy
you should be deleting cookies regularly -- at least weekly -- because
Google is not by far the only place that collects personal data on
your internet activity.
