reminder: if you have anything saved with google, you should probably move it to somewhere that’s not tied to the US govt. mark my words: it’s just a matter of time before they weaponize Google.

Yes. Backup everything and move away.

I’ve started using Qwant as my search engine and it’s not bad at all

that’s awesome! this is the first time in decades that i’ve even heard the name of a search alternative. i’m from the hotbot days. do you know if or how much it’s rooted in google’s search? i know that’s wording it poorly, but i hope you still know what i’m asking
Qwant uses Bing search results AFAIK.
But they’re working to create an independent and European search index together with Ecosia.
