Why is anyone still using google?

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 heard there was some problem with DuckDuckGo, too. Personally, I don’t care if they sell my information. They have to stay in business somehow. You have no privacy online anyway unless you take extraordinary steps, and for what?

Although, we may have to do this as some states will be tracking searches for abortion services, trans healthcare, and other newly illegal activities. We are all living in 1984.

You may be an exception Leo. Why would they in your case? @LeopoldBloom
@jackjjackson Control. Same as for everyone else. It’s hilarious if you think you’re not being tracked because you’re using a different browser.

Using an openvpn and not using google doesn’t leave the trail you do Leo. @LeopoldBloom
