Does StartPage, formerly Ixquick, bypass this tracking? Asking because StartPage claims to have Google results which they get anonymously and feed to you.
To: Red Badger
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, I read on FR that DDG was giving information to google? After reading that I dumped DDG. Now I use Yippy.

Why? Not advocating, looking for your take on comparative advantages.

Supposedly, DDG provides Google with only aggregate and anonymized user data.
To: Red Badger
And then there is TOR browser which works quite well and easy to install.

I dumped Chrome and switched to the Brace Browser. It is based on the same Chromium engine except that it blocks all tracking and syncs bookmarks using anonymous encryption instead of sending your bookmarks to Google. It’s also faster because it isn’t sending crap to Google on every click.

Google developed FLoC because are learning how to block cookies and Google analytics.
Sidenote: Did you know Free Republic is using Google Analytics, that tracking tool is recording every page you go to on Free Republic. Look in the source code for www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js
