That said, I hear you. It's an ongoing issue with ny free tech. Obv they have to be getting their income "somewhere" and if it's not through subscription or donations, then it's pretty much gotta be ads. AFAK, they sell ad-promotion on results, but limit it to showing only a few and clearly marking them as ads. (see attached sample search results via DDG).
In the end we can only count on (AND DEMAND) transparency, oversight and accountability.
@cautionwip I'm mid swing between divorcing G and moving to grapheneos. I've considered switching to linux for my pc but may just leave it and only use it minimally while handling everything else on my phone. I really appreciate your robust feedback and input!
