Using it as your engine results in your every online move being tracked and being sold by google to companies trying to get your money nevermind the targeted ads, etc. use another search engine. Plenty work just as well. I personally like DuckDuckGo. Make it your home page and preferred search engine on every device (phone, tablet, laptop and desktop). Unless you eliminate it everywhere you’re still being stalked recorded and your personal information. I’m not referring to your passwords, credit cards, social security number, etc. Companies are using your buying, searching, considering buying, travel, considering travel to try to control you with targeted ads after they pay google for it. You lock the house door when you go out. Why leave your internet history exposed ready to exploited?

I work in IT Support and we don't use Google anymore to find answers to tech issues, I mostly check Reddit these days or specific support sites the vendors have.
Google has been overrun with fake tech support sites that basically attempt to get you to download something ostensibly to fix your tech issue, but in reality this is a way to trick you into installing malware on your PC.
@SumKindaMunster I think I recently experienced that with Malwarebytes. They placed a cookie on my computer I couldn't get rid of. I contacted one of their support agents/techs and told them to remove it!
@SumKindaMunster Yep! The guy did remove it for me after I told him something was stopping the scan?! That I removed it and now they've left a cookie behind to spy on me, he took it off. Now I'm using another one to help me with trackers and hackers. I'm sick of paying technicians that just can't get the job done.

There's always a grey shadow that's here before my comments post? It stayed "grey" and the post wouldn't go through so I had to post this again. [i][b]Weird?![/b][/i]
