I use the brave browser and have start page set as my default search engine. My laptop my tablet my telephone and my desktop. I never use Google as a search engine.
One thing I have learned is that younger people have literally no concept of privacy. It is being bred out of us. Also I know old people my age who don’t seem to give a damn about their privacy. I can’t swear but it seems like liberals of any age don’t care.
Got a new laptop a couple days ago and all the initial work is sidestepping as much of Microsoft’s privacy invasion as possible.
Go Linux from word Go.....
All search engines use Google
