Google and Facebook don't use Git. Microsoft really loves Git and GitHub.

Same here. I don't use Google products, other than search.

If you want to get Google search results and not give them any personal info or create a search bubble, try startpage.com or ixquick.com (same company). They have built a privacy-focused search engine that rides on Google's results. I'm not affiliated, I just enjoy using it.

If you don't trust Startpage you can try DuckDuckGo with a !g modifier, it will search Google (mostly) anonymously for you.

As far as I understand, the !g modifier doesn't search anonymously for you, it just redirects you to the google results page. It's useful when you know that ddg won't give you a result as good as google.

You can also use the !sp flag, that redirects you to the startpage result page, without passing through google at any time, so that's what you should use instead of !g.

Thanks for that, I rarely use DDG but I always assumed they sanitized the Google results.

You can use Google without logging in and with one of those browser addons that delete cookies when leaving a site.

They still create a search bubble based on your IP address and browser fingerprinting.

Well not with GDPR, no.
