Just saw the article, "How to stop location tracking", by the Verge and i was surprised how much Google knows about me. They track your location, Audio recording of things you said to Google assistant, browsing data, etc. Some personal stuff Smiley Surprised. Those of you who are paranoid like me should turn some things off and delete some stuff.

Startpage is another search engine you can use.

I tried to use duckduck, but the search results were so bad compare what i get on Google. Unfortunately, i had to quit using for this reason.

The problem is, can you really trust that turning off Google options or deleting information actually does anything more than prevent you from seeing it in your history. In Windows 10 you can disable telemetry and all other spyware, but it does nothing to actually change the data they continue to collect.

Google doesn't make GMAIL & GOOGLE MAPS for ZERO revenue.

 

Have you ever noticed that the ads within GMAIL changes, depending of where you're currently located?  Or you've Google looking buy something and all the ads change to your favorite search.

 

It's all about data mining or shall we call it GOOGLE mining.
