Thanks, removed Chrome ages ago in favor of Microsoft's Edge (the new one). Microsoft is fast becoming the good guys. It sets a default tracking level of Balanced, which blocks trackers from unvisited sites - you may then make it more strict if desired, out of the box with no extra plugins required. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/learn-about-tracking-prevention-in-microsoft-edge-5ac125e8-9b90-8d59-fa2c-7f2e9a44d869 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/learn-abo...

> Microsoft is fast becoming the good guys I think it's probably about time we stop pretending any of these major tech corporations are good guys.

  Exactly. At the end of the day, it is all about the money. If something isn’t making money, it is bound to be canned/changed sooner than later.

    I wonder if there is room here for an existing company that already makes money via a subscription, to pivot into search. I could see Apple or Netflix or Amazon, try and expand their offering to include search. They already have income streams that rely on the consumer, so they can build products that are in our best interest.

They just have really good PR and much less touch points with consumers.
