Staying away from Google

As Google is going more and deeper in your private life, you better switch to alternatives.

Not only for your search bot, but also for all other services they present (like Gmail).

The truth is, I am very attached to various Google services and I don't know how I'd quit them.

Replace Chrome with Mozilla Firefox and use DuckduckGo as searchbot. Much better protection of privacy. Using a VPN is not bad too. And find an email program with more privacy. I use a swiss one with encryption.

Leave Google can be compare with a drug addict that has to kick off.

Most people are too lazy to change.

Chrome is one of the few Google things I don't actually use, the minimalistic design is just not to my taste.
