How to search
If you search like most people, you use Google or maybe Bing. But the results are biased. They know more about you than you think. You will have seen how ads follow you around for something you are interested in, same with searching. See how to search.
They both provide the information they decide will be of interest, but what if you want unbiased information? Then you need to use a search by https://www.startpage.com/ This still uses Google but without your background tracking information affecting the results.
