@b4c50e1b You can opt out and stop using their search engine. There are several that actively go out of their way not to abuse their users, I use and recommend Qwant
@00b2f577 - I've been trying DuckDuckGo and am not thrilled. For example if I want to see something I wrote about modular forms I type in +baez modular forms and it returns a lot of results that apparently don't contain the word "baez". Just an example - it's not that I'm so self-centered, I just want a search engine where you can fine-tune a search.
