> I'm not one of the people that has been concerned about that, but I'm curious to what extent this alleviates those concerns among those that have had them.
I am, it's mind-blowing to me that anyone would login to a search engine (yes, I know how many do it, now).
After a brief verification of the system, I'm pretty sure I'll sign up, now
Logging in to a search engine weirded me out at first, but after about a week I was so pleased with the results that I’ve been happily paying for almost a year now.
I honestly feel like any major free search engine is probably doing more to try to track you anyway.
And if you’re going to search something you want to be anonymous, you can just like use another search engine. I honestly haven’t run into the situation where I needed to.
I do worry that some day someone will be able to see how often I forget basic syntax for some JavaScript or Python method - or how often I can’t be bothered to type out a full domain and just search to navigate to it - but that’s a price I’m also willing to pay.
Most people are riding 24/7 with a Google session active, as it carries from Youtube/Chrome to Search. I don't think many realize it
Why would you not want to login to a personalized service (unless you really need to be anonymous for some reason)?
