No concernes about privacy with Google?
Sorry to pop in like this.
But I switched all my search to search.brave.com and startpage.com
Since whatever search engine I use, will probably know more details about my intrest then my wife knows. So I rather give this information to a company that claims to not sell this information.
No need to apologise at all. On my side? I'm using IronFox and a self-hosted SearXNG engine. I have a GrapheneOS-flashed phone, but I have to admit that I'm not daily driving it anymore.
On my wife's side? She is still pretty much invested in Google, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc., no matter what I say. I did manage to get her to use Signal to communicate with me (and basically only me, she uses WhatsApp to text everyone else). To give her credit, she has at least tightened up her Instagram privacy settings a bit, though that doesn’t help much.
Getting the people we love to try healthier tech and protect themselves is... a continuous, ongoing effort.
