Works for me on “Duck duck go”-—I rarely use Google anymore! I used to be a “Google” products fan boy now I despise them! There is no escaping their wrath but you can cut it back by disabling crap, not using their products and so forth. Start by using “Duck Duck go” for searching and “Brave” as your browser.
I do use Brave.
I try to use bing. But sometimes I use google.
The phone situation sucks for me. And their photos app is truly the best around. Their AI for finding faces blows away all. I have been more an MS user than anything. I like Apple’s user data policy, but I hate their OS. And I dislike their cult users even more :-)
So for now I’m stuck with an android phone and using google photos. I try to use Microsoft software on it. I do use brave browser on PC and phone though. But I do know that doesn’t matter at this point because google is tracking me already.
