I use Chrome because it integrates with the other Google services and hardware I use and because I just like it better. I fully understand the data collection thing and I’m ok with it to some extent. I like that Google shows me things that I might be interested in based on searches or sites I visit, but I TOTALLY understand why others might not be ok with it. I am more concerned with the government having access to my information than Google but not to the point of paranoia.
I stopped being a fan of any recommendations once it became abundantly clear that I’m not actually shown things I’m interested in, but rather the same ads that everyone else gets. Not to mention the Google experience has greatly degraded lately. Tried their search recently? So many ads and SEO spam.
I was actually just talking about this on another post. Google Search has serious problems that need addressing. That’s why so many people appended search terms with reddit. Because without that, the organic results are nearly worthless. I’m fine with the first 3 or 4 sponsored results, but the organic search needs to be fixed for sure.
The problem is that you are using chrome to begin with
