Oh really? I'll look more into that thanks.

I saw people mentioning an open source and self hostable search engine (SearXNG) which is cool and I tried it out but it gives not very good results. I tried searching for specific sites and it would show anything but. But it's fine for general info.

I still don't think there is anything else other than startpage that is as private while giving good search results. I don't believe that startpage is collecting data on users like google/Microsoft do and I don't think duckduckgo is as good in that regard either. It still makes sense for startpage to be owned by an advertising company since it does show ads mixed with the search results. The difference is they are not personalised or tracked to you (so they say).

So if you have any evidence of System1/startpage tracking users and collecting personalised data on users for anything other than general usage and diagnostic analytics then I think it's fine. If you do, then I will stop using and recommending it.

Start Page. Google results without the Google.

Or duckduckgo

Mine will take every opportunity to steal my chair. If they can't sit on my chair they will sit on my lap or otherwise on my desk in front of me so I can't see my monitor.

If I had my door shut, as soon as I open it they often come sprinting in and jump straight on it.

All of social media will be. Even for those of us not in the US. It's bad enough with the moaning about our own governments.

Glad to see plenty of gorillaz in there!

Actually a lot of yours align with mine such as Tame Impala and King Gizzard. I'm gonna check out some of the others you have.

I don't really listen to specific albums, just certain artists and playlists.

I will throw in Franz Ferdinand - Hits to the head album though
