It also, consequently, makes the advertisements which they show to you far less valuable. So this feature is not widely advertised.

    YSK you can not use Google and instead use a service with no personalised advertising, such as startpage or duckduckgo

    This prevents them from using things like your browsing history, search history, or personal data to serve you customised advertisements.

    You also should install an adblocker, on everything that has it.

      Even if you do not use Google, if you don’t have something like uBlock Origin (which I highly recommend), you’ll still see advertisements on other sites which are served by Google.
