    How people live as tech sheep I will never relate to.

    I like Bing. It's AI-assisted searches save me a lot of time. However, I
    still prefer Brave Search.

    Google has always been my choice. But I would consider an
    alternative, given a reason to.

    Debian set up Chrome to use DuckDuckGo. I can understand why, but I prefer using Google search.

    Google, whether you're logged in or not, makes a profile of you from
    every search you make on their engine. They know more about you than you
    know about yourself and sell that data to whoever wants it. There's a
    reason DuckDuckGo came to be.

    If ever you're concerned about Google not caring about your privacy, I
    believe that you can use startpage to get the same results without
    sacrificing any personal data to the corporation.
