Which social media firms are tracking you the most?

I knew about most of them but surprised that Outlook and Microsoft are on the list among the worst. Open office Thunderbird is a great replacement for Outlook.

I suspect most of us knew that TicTok was the worst of the worst.

using FireFox, I delete all "Cookies and Site Data" every weekend.
FireFox attempts to block tracking cookies, etc - but it's a never ending tech battle.
FireFox also has the option to delete all "Cookies and Site Data" every time it closes - so one can pick how hyper-paranoid one wishes to be...
DuckDuckGo is a very good search engine - and (per blurbs) does not "track" one's searches. true? who knows....
or as Tom Baker implied . . . Who nose?

anything that is so personally sensitive . . . never ever put it on a computer.
see: Hollywood stars and SexTapes.....

I've used duckduckgo for years now. Very happy with it.
When in doubt of search results or think there should be more I will open a google window. Duckduckgo is my default though.
