There used to be reasons to use Google over DuckDuckGo. But the latter's result quality has gone up while the former's has been enshittified. Still, something about old habits and how they die.
Aurora Store currently has problems (probably caused by google). Anonymous login sometimes fails or searches lead to a "sorry, you're rate limited" error.
Unless you automate this to run a search at random intervals, wouldn’t google see a blast of searches and just ignore it as noise? I imagine they employ AI already to filter out nonsensical activity or bot activity.
Really, just stop using google. I migrated from google many years ago. It’s been great. The frustrating part is when they buy up good products and run them into the ground (Nest, Fitbit). Seriously fuck google.
Wow
What an absolute squat.
I wondered the fourth one myself
or you could just not use google lol

I use SearXNG. They search Google anonymously. I also like the layout better. Less bullshit. Straight to the content.
Do privacy motivated people even have a google account?
"Kinda" - not an account that I'm using to search with. Also, I don't use Google for searching.
Yes, when someone shares a google doc with you..smh
I have it bc I still need to download apps via Play Store on Graphene. Don't use it for anything else tho
You can download theAurora Store and download Google Play apps without an account.
Awesome! Going to do that this weekend

I would very much like to delete my Google Account, but alas, I have to use it for work and some Very Important accounts.

Why not use DuckDuckGo or Brave search engine?
What about Qwant?
I don't Qwant to
Or you can pay 10 bucks for Kagi and enjoy privacy.
Whats Kagi?
It's a premium, subscription-based search engine. Basically, you just pay them monthly instead of getting ads.
Lol. Not even open source. Just use a public Searxng instance
