The question is not to "trust"

The question is how to hide your online fingerprint

Everyone is your enemy, you can only count on yourself, either self host a crawler

Or use the most popular one, if results aren't good, check with another one

Remove your dependencies, and change your identity

Anything else is USELESS, expecting a VC funded company in the USA will care for your privacy, is like asking for a thief to not rob you

Google gives 0 shit about you, you are just data, manipulate it

I see your point, and you're right.

But it's so cumbersome to increase the "walls of privacy" endlessly, when privacy is our right. But that's the world we live in, right?

Let's say I use the following to protect myself, my fingerprint - there are questionmarks too to use them:

TOR: - I read that a huge fleet of exit nodes are bad. Probably the Gov. who's paying Millions to infiltrate the network. So, can I really hide my ass using TOR?

VPN: - Same as with any other service. You must trust them that they respect your privacy, don't save data etc.

Blockers/Firerwalls: - One needs technical skills to configure it properly. Luckily I'm able to, but millions of ordianry people don't.

It never ends.

So we have to do our part on our side and learn to live with it, and handle technology better than they do.

Thanks for your comment, very much appreciated.
