Simply head over to Google and click your profile in the top right (log in if needed)

Do privacy motivated people even have a google account?

[–] pumpsnabben 5 points 1 year ago

"Kinda" - not an account that I'm using to search with. Also, I don't use Google for searching.

[–] itchy_lizard@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I don't Qwant to

Unless you automate this to run a search at random intervals, wouldn’t google see a blast of searches and just ignore it as noise? I imagine they employ AI already to filter out nonsensical activity or bot activity.

Really, just stop using google. I migrated from google many years ago. It’s been great. The frustrating part is when they buy up good products and run them into the ground (Nest, Fitbit). Seriously fuck google.

Or you can pay 10 bucks for Kagi and enjoy privacy.

It's a premium, subscription-based search engine. Basically, you just pay them monthly instead of getting ads.

Lol. Not even open source. Just use a public Searxng instance
