Google still knows what you do online even if you don’t use it for search. Their ad servers are pervasive even if you don’t use them active typed searches.

Facebook, same thing. Amazon is getting just as aggressive in the ad space. If you cruise the web and see an ad you’re feeding Google, Facebook or Amazon.

No one can top YouTube in that space right now or even compete. It’s a fools errand to take these companies on piecemeal with a start up. It’s AT&T breakup time.

"Google still knows what you do online even if you don’t use it for search.”

Not being a tech nerd, I'm have to take you word for that. All I know is ever since I been using "DuckDuckGo" the ads I using to see on the side bars(?) no longer pop up showing the previous articles or products I looked at in the past. Still use Amazon and occasionally FB but my usage has declined tremendously

Any recommendations on search engines that respect my privacy?
