still prefer Brave Search.

Google has always been my choice. But I would consider an
alternative, given a reason to.

Debian set up Chrome to use DuckDuckGo. I can understand why, but I prefer
using Google search.

Google, whether you're logged in or not, makes a profile of you from
every search you make on their engine. They know more about you than you
know about yourself and sell that data to whoever wants it. There's a
reason DuckDuckGo came to be.

If ever you're concerned about Google not caring about your privacy, I
believe that you can use startpage to get the same results without
sacrificing any personal data to the corporation.
