I use Brave.
It is tied to search DuckDuckGo.
DDG has ads so it is tied to an algorithm that is scraped for ChatGPT.
There is no such thing as “private” browser or search.
Google tracking is embedded in your registry and hidden.
You can’t avoid it.
If you use anything Microsoft products, you can’t remove it from your registry without voiding your MS warranty and disabling your OpsSys (yes...even 3.11).

Summary?
We’re screwed unless we get off the grid.

Yes, no naivete here. Off grid means reverting to signals. Smoke and HAMM. 😄

The only advantage I’ve noticed with Duck is there is no ad tracking my queries, but most important is the superior ability to perform with Answers to queries.

Can’t count the times my Google response is a blank page, as if you didn’t press the GO or Send icon. 😡

I'm ready.

For me it would be easy but I would miss you guys.
