I guess I'm a "techie."

I quit using Google search a long time ago. I use https://startpage.com/, a completely private search engine. More info here.

Note the startpage URL starts with https. This indicates it is using the same "protection" that Google now offers. Except startpage.com does not record your IP address, does not scan your searches for marketing purposes and doesn't have a special deal with the NSA to pass your info along to them.

I have several Gmail email accounts. All 100% fake and used when some website insists I "sign up" to get something I want.

Google be damned!

It sez it is enhanced by Google.
