They're both bad, thank you very much. <br>

They can now tie your mac address to your physical address. Which I
believe means they can (and will) tie your surfing habits to your
physical address and use that to make money. i.e. intrude on your
life. Which while some people don't care about, others have a very big
problem with and treat it as a huge invasion of privacy.<br>

How is a MAC different than a house number? Really, unless you want to
be homeless, you do have to surrender some anonymity. In fact, a MAC is
more anonymous than a house number - the city doesn't register MACs.
And you can rotate your MAC every month if you were so inclined.
So what is worse? Google taking a picture of your house with the street
number in plain view, or recording your MAC address.
