I used google for most of my life, for the past couple months I’ve been using brave search, but I still end up using google often because google images is far better than brave search images. I’m also worried that maybe brave search isn’t the best choice. What would you guys recommend?

    Google without logging in with ublock is best. No privacy implication, no ads, no ai response.

        Like what? I mean you don’t save cookies/local storage either, or use private browsing always.

        At most google see your search terms, results you click and your ip address. Unless you’re using ipv6 without rotation or with unique prefix there is no identifying information.

          If you’re using something like tor, and rotate on every single search, then that would be ideal.

          I assume you’re not using tor. That means all your searches can still be linked to you via the network source (ip address, etc.). Google can also use your search patterns to fingerprint you.
