Am i the only one who thinks that using "Google it" instead of "search it" or "look it up" is problematic? (lemmygrad.ml)

There are so many search engines out there and even chat bots to get info from. I refuse to let Google monopolize an action.

You should try this privacy-respecting meta-search engine 😊. This is the one that I use. It is an open-source project that doesn't have any ads and works only on donations. Also, it doesn't log IP addresses or searchers.

Aha o.O Would u prefer it over DuckDuckGo? Any pros and cons? Would be hella interested in that

I just don’t trust for profit companies to keep their word about privacy when the opportunity to sell your data is there.
