anything branded google for content consumption I avoid or mitigate with other sources. I use gmail because I almost entirely control that (unsubscribe, spam filters, user filters and auto forwarding) Unless they are actively deleting email sent to me and changing the content of email I am getting exactly what I want to get in my inbox I use Google search in conjunction with duck duck go, bing, content aggregators, offline sources and for things i don't care about the source or that doesn't really have a possibility of bias (weather forecast, traffic) or when i know that the google search is really just a quick way to search something else (stack overflow, wikipedia) the google new tab interface on mobile has such abominable suggestions that I quit using chrome on mobile (helps that I don't have a phone, just a tablet for e-reading, music and causal games) Maybe it would have better suggestions if I turned on google tracking (app and website) or if I turned off the VPN and anonymizing proxy on my router - yeah right.
