   Shouldn’t Google themselves take care of this? If unhappy with Google’s results, try Kagi, DDG, Qwant, Brave Search or Mojeek!

    I quit facebook 2 years ago; I never had accounts on Instagram, TikTok, Snap. I spend 5 minutes a day on Twitter and LinkedIn. Done like this, it’s ok.

    I wish they had worked on better bookmarks instead of on a flashy appearance.
