searx is an aggregator that anonymizes your data that can include engines such as google and bing. I would say that the calendar is a greater threat unless you make fake entries. There are many privacy related emails such as protonmail and riseup. |
Oh, I was glad to get the Likebook recommendation and consider it. Price wasn't the priority, but it's not irrelevant. I'm not rich or anything, and I can do other things with $160… like donating it to RiseUp even… I have an email with them but don't use it for everything. I think fastmail might be my best bet overall. And yeah, searx is fine, but I've had no complaints with DuckDuckGo.
Anyway, I'm far from perfect here, I just am especially wary about not just tracking per se but what happens because of it. So, I absolutely hate the YouTube algorithm. It's the worst. Watch ONE video out of curiosity, and the algorithm guesses it should box you into that. Their algorithm CAUSED today's flat-earth movement:

So, I watch any YouTube via mpv or sometimes on NewPipe on my phone. I don't worry that if I watch something out of curiosity about what it is that some algorithm decides that I must *want* more of it. Same concern for reading.

Anyway, we'll see how it goes with the Nook. I'm optimistic enough.
