Duck Duck Go browser information.
I finally decided to switch from Firefox as my primary browser on my MacBook Pro to Duck Duck Go. What finally got me to switch was their privacy protection service. While the Privacy Pro option is a few dollars a month the protection is better than any other browser, as far as I know.

For example, it told me, after I went to HomeDepot.com to check on lumber prices, that there were 116 tracking attempts blocked. I was only there a couple of minutes and probably looked at 6 or so pages.

It also does personal information removal from data broker sites.

If you’re concerned about privacy, you might explore Duck Duck Go as an option.

What I find really funny about how AI has managed to speed up the enshitification of the internet... is this.

SEO destroyed search, you simply can't find anything relevant because it's page after page of garbage unrelated to your search, and the top page is always AI garbage and ads.

So people started adding 'reddit' to their searches, to prioritise 'human' answers.

So AI companies, did a deal with reddit to scrape every single post to train their LLM's.

Except... reddit is 10% actual answers to questions and 90% shitposts.

So now your searches are basically AI answers quoting reddit shitposts as factual.

Use DuckDuckGo folks, install the app on your phone too, and turn on tracking protection whilst you're at it.

I disabled #trackingprotection in #Firefox but #youtube keeps thinking I'm using an #adblocker 😭

I'm not an Apple Safari power user and still trying to find a good #trackingProtection extension to recommend (I think I'm good on recommendations for Firefox, Google Chrome, and MSFT Edge)

Is Magic Lasso the best option? (They say they deal with the YouTube ads which IMHO is a high priority, and they don't block ads like the ones on daringfireball.net which are legit)

Check it out. I installed the #DuckDuckGo #browser on my Android phone and enabled the new #TrackingProtection feature that blocks tracking attempts by all apps on my phone. In the past 7 days it has blocked almost **150 THOUSAND** tracking attempts.

It's well known that we are being watched, tracked, and profiled always, but seeing the numbers like this is astonishing. (Even unopened apps do it!)

"Every breath you take, every move you make, every step you take, I'll be watching you." 🤖 👀

I've had the #DuckDuckGo app tracking protection turned on for about a day and it has already blocked almost 17 THOUSAND tracking attempts by 22 apps, most of which I HAVE NOT EVEN OPENED during that time.
I mean, I knew this sort of thing happened, but I didn't know how much.
