Firefox and DuckDuckGo
A couple of weeks ago I found a lot of websites I use regularly kept crashing in Chrome on Android (repeated 'Aw Snap' messages). So I downloaded Firefox and found it works just as well as chrome (but without the errors).
While I was there I noticed it was easy to search DuckDuckGo instead of Google and indeed to set it as default. First time I'd used DDG and its actually pretty usable.
So, while Google still know my location etc they don't know what I'm searching for.
Also I noticed there were a lot of websites where audio recording and camera permissions popped up in Firefox - no idea why, they were just news sites etc - ads triggering these permissions? Needless to say I denied them as I have no need to use audio or camera from within Firefox.
So yeah, use a different browser sometimes.
