Rules for thee and not for me kind of stance when it comes to who is collecting all the sweet data from its users, it wont be possible to block every tracker and ad from Google in the future because every add-on will have a limit of how many domains they are trying to block.
I mean what could possibly go wrong if the biggest data collector and ad provider has a monopoly on web browser?
Why is it bad to use chromium base browsers?
If the market is essentially only Chromium and Safari, Firefox compatibility will be even less important and broken sites will only lead to a bigger monopoly because users will switch.
I think duck duck go is better personally. There are still a ton of Google services id have trouble leaving though. Google photos, Maps, Docs ect. I don’t think I could quit google altogether.
Interesting so I guess they use Microsoft ad services and thus send data to Microsoft. I just like their search results because they’re less spammy than Google. Also I found Google sensors their search results a bit more. Let’s say your trying to find a site for pirate streaming. You’ll have better luck with DuckDuckGo.
I started using Startpage it takes Google searches and gives it to the user anonymously. The results are quite good because it’s essential Google results.
One big life-changing thing will be something like Manifest V3, limiting ad-blockers capabilities. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/chrome-users-beware-manifest-v3-deceitful-and-threatening https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/googles-manifest-v3-still-hurts-privacy-security-innovation

And people still support and use Google search so the monster just continues growing.
I guess we get what we deserve as a species.
I’ve tried to move away from Google search so many times but honestly it’s just too convenient…
Startpage, Google results without Google tracking.
They still get some data, but you can use something like DuckDuckGo as main and Startpage as fallback.
Kagi did it for me. I set it as default search engine when it was new, and I actually forgot about it. Thats how good it is.
It’s the same results as Google, just ranked differently so you don’t get all the junk. You will discover lots of new web sites that are quite good.
Try it!

Isn’t it Duck Duck Go that sent metadata to Microsoft, also if they denied it.

Searching for pirate streaming/illegal websites on Google is in general not a good idea…
Yeah in particular NFL streams idk how to find them. Luckily my work has a guy who always seems to know a good site.
