I just went looking for my Google Search history (https://myactivity.google.com/product/search https://myactivity.google.com/product/search) and it claims "Not saving" but I know for a fact searches I'm making on my mac auto-complete on my pc if I use the "Google" container in Firefox.
It says the same "No activity" for YouTube but I can clearly go on YouTube watch history right now and see every video I've played. That's extremely fishy.

- tantalor 3y agoAre you sure you actually have it "turned off"? If I go to youtube activity controls and click "turn off" then my history stops being saved (checked by watching a video) then when I click "turn on" then the history starts working again.

- hedora 3y agoProbably time to switch search engines. Duck Duck Go results are as good as Google’s, and have been for a long time. Also, they don’t fill the first screen and a half with user-targeted spam and query-targeted structured data spam.
- lazycouchpotato 3y agoBrave [1] seems to have stepped up their game - at least in the search engine space, and I should get around to trying Kagi [2] as well. [1] https://search.brave.com/ https://search.brave.com/ [2] https://kagi.com/ https://kagi.com/
- bdzr 3y ago> Duck Duck Go results are as good as Google’s Holy batman no they are not. Kagi is the only thing I've seen come close. Even brave search mentioned below struggles when giving more specific queries.
