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 following around for something you are interested in, same with searching. They both provide 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 information affecting the results.
