Stay safe out there :)
In my opinion, one of the first things to do to try to stay safe out
there, if not the first, is to stop using that website and use one that
doesn't track what you search, that doesn't show you different results
to what it shows to other people who do the same search, and that
doesn't treat you as its product.
100% agreed.
That being said, all search engines are more or less broken today, due to a
number of factors. It's like we're back in 1996. Except worse.

That’s an interesting observation Sellam, and I have to agree. In thinking about it, I
was able to find stuff on the Internet easier in 1995 than I seem to be able to now. I
mostly avoid Google like the plague now, but I decided to use it today to look for a very
specific term, it still spews nonsense.
