Eh, not really. I don’t use google and I block trackers anyway.

Its a good start but you’re probably being tracked by your credit card, supermarket loyalty card, TV, operating systems and any ring camera you happen to walk past.
Also I think a lot of supermarkets are trying out facial recognition for “security” reasons. But probably they’re watching how you walk and shop etc.
Thinking you can avoid it completely is bold. Data data poisoning is (maybe) the only way to break even with the data companies.

Not sure how Kagi will help with my supermarket loyalty card but thanks anyway

I wasn’t talking about kagi, I was saying staying “off google” doesn’t mean you aren’t being tracked.
