DH is a certified computer tech and we use NOTHING Google related on our devices.

Between their data mining, ad bombardment, selling customers info to telemarketers and their vulnerability to hackers.

@KingstonsMom

What browser do you use with your devices?

Microsoft Edge

And for searches, instead of using google, we use 'Startpage', the most private search engine you can use, we've been using it for years.

Another recommendation for "Startpage" a search engine. It is NOT a browser. Does not "track" you.

My default browser is WaterFox. Been using this since its inception approximately 5 yrs ago. Way faster & more secure than FireFox. It's also an open source browser.

I saw it and was also half listening. The part that caught my attention was it happened a month ago.

And the sky may fall tonight. All of the browsers and search engines are collecting data;they throw it back at us all the time with preferences, comments and suggestions.
