It's mainly Google and facebook tracking you. Facebook does give a shit about this data as they do EXPERIMENTS on your facebook homepage to which they monitor human behaviour through looking at trends. In 2012 they targeted 20,000 people without consent with specifically sad news stories and then monitored the emotions of their future posts and comments.
They are performing psychoanalysis to better control our emotions and feelings to achieve a certain goal. Now go suck off some foreskins Rabbi.
Yup. Best thing to do is drop FB and google products ASAP. Just delete FB presence outright, switch to another browser and set up DuckDuckGo as search engine. From there subscribe to a VPN service.
In terms of browsers I’d defer to the Linux community. Most linux software is all about being free, open-source, and privacy protective/ anonymous. Those guys could tell ya what’s best, even if you’re using windows.
Duck Duck Go does some seriously shady shit. There are ~30 search engines that are independent and privacy orientated set up by some really old people, people who have been on the internet since the 80s. I know a really good place to find stuff like this, basically search engines specially built for specific purposes, duckduckgo is a piece of shit.
Build a console browser for the Gopher Protocol or download one. There is also another one which I havent fully looked at yet called FREENET. Gopher forums are filled with people who write independent search engines and privacy orientated tools in their free time. I haven't been on it for a while though.
Got sauce for DDG shadiness?
