Google and other search engines have been doing it since ages… Yes, you guessed it right. I am talking about collecting your personal information. However, there are for sure ways to ensure that you come out of this big mess without getting hurt. Tio has written a detailed article on this topic describing the ways to protect your online search privacy.
Below are the tips which are discussed in this article.
- Don’t put personally identifying information in your search terms.
- Don’t use your ISP’s search engine
- Don’t login to your search engine or related tools
- Block “cookies” from your search engine
- Vary your IP address
- Use web proxies and anonymizing software like Tor
Although, Tio does discusses these tips in full length, but one should be aware that implementing these methods only creates a shield. It doesnt actually guarantee you full safety.
