- ben_w 3y agoWith search engines, I get actual value from them knowing what I like — e.g. "mouse" should give me the peripheral not the mammal, and the default YouTube home page if I'm not logged in is 99% irrelevant (sports and music, I don't care about either). Advert tracking, and anything where they sell on this data, that's where their interests are no longer aligned with mine.
- jacooper 3y agoMaybe if I can trust them, which currently I have no basis to do so. And I don't use Google search anyway (brave search is really good), I just care about YouTube.
- robin_reala 3y agoThere’s nothing saying that they can’t track based on your preferences. But it needs to be opt-in, and the information processed to do that needs to be only used to do that (i.e. the consent is per functionality). The default is always no processing.
