Seconded. The only reason I use Google is if I actually want an ad served to me.

Switch to Kagi. It’s worth the money.

Do you really want your porn search results linked to your credit card + name? oO

I mean, the ad services plugged into every website have already cross referenced each other and know who you are even if you use a service like DDG that supposedly doesn’t track. Incidentally, Kagi supposedly doesn’t track either, (which they’d better not since you’re paying them), so while it doesn’t mitigate the above issue of your being traceable by pure virtue of browsing the web, it certainly isn’t “tying your porn results to credit cards and search results.”

I don’t use any services that make me identifiable to search engines, I use ublock origin, I occasionally delete all my browsing history + cookies, and of course I’d never watch porn winkwink I’d say any corporation/entity outside the ISP would at the very least have a hard time tracking my porn preferences ;)
