Hi Stephen, As someone from wamug (Neil?) said a few years ago: it’s too late - Google already knows everything about you. I think I was trying to uninstall Google Chrome after using it for a few days.
Google is efficient for my web searches. I used DuckDuckGo for some time but became irritated by it. Ditto for Bing. In general I use standard Apple apps, including Safari. I have Firefox installed on some devices as a backup browser. Waiting for the new Microsoft Edge to be released by the Australian Mac App Store for possible use on the 2019 iMac.
