DuckDuckGo supposedly doesn't track you, so worth considering, and anything that isn't Google is probably a good thing.

On the flip side, the NSA records everything, so……..

Been using DuckDuckGo for years and I love it.

TOR browsing is also an option. But as Thresher01 pointed out, the NSA has already recorded the fact that you might use it. Welcome to the world of thought crime.

Well, you should set up a VPN to use DuckDuckGo, right? And then get a burner computer and burner phone and use the hotspot of the burner phone for your internet connection and only use them far from anywhere that you and your phone and car ever go. That might be a little bit more private.

Good article, TY.

I use TOR and DuckDuckGo though TOR can be quite slow.
