1) VPNs only hide your IP address. They don't make you anonymous. Search engines and websites can still track you.

2) If it's non-private, it still collects personal data.

3) Or Startpage - HQed in the Netherlands, hides IP address, Anonymous View feature lets you visit results in private, and Google results.

Well, I do everything I can to avoid tracking. I don't use any G$$gle service, browse with Firefox with a bunch of anti-spying extensions. Startpage is good, I switch to it if qwant doesn't produce the required result. But I heard it feeds into G$$gle.
