I only use duckduckgo. They don't have all that Google offers, but I love that they control who tracks us. I only use Google if I have to. Hope you like it!
Never knew that Google can track you across your browser tabs when you remain signed in. I’ve sent this article to multiple people already this morning- I can’t express enough appreciation for your posts, and I look forward to reading many more as I tighten things up. 🙏🏻
I'll have to look into this more later, as it's after 2 a.m. where I am. I did find that using "private browsing" with Safari made some websites nearly impossible to use, but that's only been since--at a guess--last fall. I'd try Firefox, but I"m having all kinds of trouble with my desktop Mac right now and will likely be (unwillingly) replacing it soon. Once that happens, I'll install Firefox. Been years since I used it and will have to learn it all over again.
Does it help at all that I delete cookies several times a day and close my browser before and after going to financial and medical sites in particular?
Oh wow, this is good to know. There are lots of posts recommending Duck Duck Go these days. Thanks for this additional context. AND for this super helpful, easily-actionable post. Greatly appreciated! 🙏
any thoughts on ecosia? i’ve been using the app instead of safari (no ads…they plant trees…they don’t try to sell me anything or force AI on me)…not sure how it adds up.
What about DuckDuckGo? A friend told me about it recently so I made that my default browser instead of Chrome on my Mac.
They will be similar to the Chrome settings. I didn’t mention it here because it’s lower on the list of use. I just went with the top 5.

I have NordVPN as the first line of defense.
So, Jenner was wrong about smallpox then? Makes one wonder why there is not outbreaks of smallpox.
I’m guessing you were terminated for more than your anti vax views.
Huh?
I must have sent to wrong post, my apologies.
No worries! Was super confused

What are your thoughts about Duck Duck Go? Seems like it was great for a while and now it’s full of AI results
It runs with Bing on the backend now. I don’t recommend it.

So helpful, thank you!

I use Clear History and Website Data in Safari after every search, so perhaps 15-20 times each day.
"Even better delete your account and ditch them for good", Hahaha. EXACTLY! Absolutely beautiful read. Brave browser all the way!! Thank you for this
Startpage for searching; based in the Netherlands. Been using this for about 15 years with Brave browser. Firefox for banking.
What about Duck Duck Go and Nord Vpn
