I have read through this thread again and I am amazed by the various dislikes on the subject of tracking and perhaps privacy in general.

Other than banking information, and perhaps government identification what do I have to keep secret?

They can put a damn webcam here in my music room and stream that live to the whole world for all I care. I really have nothing to hide.

On the original subject, I find some search engines more useful than others for certain subjects. I just want to choose the one that I default to.

I am finding that I am required to pay more every year to log on to meaningful websites that have professional information, especially about medical subjects.

I am finding computers of all types, desktops, Main Frames, and cell phones are becoming very intrusive and distracting. Yes, I need them and use them every day but they are also a PITB!
