RE: The best choice for search engine that I have found is duckduckgo; and now they strip the tracking from the new google app!
I hadn't heard of them. That's intriguing.
they now strip the tracking information away from the new Google application!
What does that mean? I think I'm missing something.
This search engine mixes all the search data together, then they erase it all when you have your search back, so no one can tell what you were looking at.
They added a traveler to your google search app that records what you do, and reports it back to google, what you searched, no matter if you used google or not.
Duckduckgo strips this information from this new google app if it comes through duckduckgo. They write zeros over all the data that google had collected! Then they get NOTHING back from you.
This is pretty bold of them, and I appreciate their efforts to protect me! I know that google will be pissed, and may take legal action.
>:(Wow, so they just overwrite it?! That's sweet! Good for them for standing up to the beast. What grounds would Google have to take action? If they're taking info, duckduckgo is required to send some, so why not 000s? Ha ha.
Hopefully they get some good lawyers and stick it to Google. They control far too much.
Yes, and google can't sue them, without admitting, in court, that their primary business is data-mining....Now THAT IS FUNNY!Interesting trap, ROFLOL; they can NOT admit that they are data-miners, so they have to put up with all zeros from duckduckgo!
:)It's a catch twenty two. Although it's one that I'm not sad they're in because they've been data mining for so long that they deserve to get caught in their own trap. Good for duckduckgo for sticking it to them!
There is a game I play with google, when I am in the mood. I enter data into their search engines, that is 100% wrong. I am 1 to 104, male, female, and in between I have addresses in every state, and several foreign countries; and LOTS of Emails, ROFLOL! They must treat hand keyed data as correct, and can NOT protect themselves, or more importantly their databases from direct input. I usually send it from libraries or over free WiFii.
It is a great game, if we all fed them a bad profile a day their databases would be feces within a year.
:)Ha ha, how do you enter data that you're 1 to 104? You just search for things for a 104 year old? It sounds like you're having a blast. Maybe you can get a macro to do that for you and then you'll multiply your time.
Hadn't thought about a macro, ROFLOL! It is was easy, just find something, and sign up for it. Their data spider jumps on it, and grabs the new data, and files it as real.
I let them do the hard work, He He....
:DThat's funny. I like the ways that you find to entertain yourself. Soon they'll be smart enough to know how to filter stuff like that out though... if they're not already. AI is a real thing. The movies have made fun of it and tried to showcase AI taking over the world, but it's more likely that humans controlling AI will use it to control other people. Just my opinion.
