    I looked into it before I started using it like a year ago. They count the number of searches but claim to not hold actual search queries. I don’t have a citation handy (it has been a year…) but even if that’s untrue (which I don’t think it is, but hypothetically) and they were found to be using it to tweak their engine, meh? I search for memes, accounts for art/porn, games/reviews, etc. I’m not searching for my home address or anything of interest or value. “hey, the horny furry searched for more horny furry stuff” is like “water is still wet, more at 10”.

    This is a super low-important possibility, imo.

    Rookie numbers etc etc

    (I have categories of tabs on desktop, and different browsers of tabs on mobile, that grow until I forward them to the desktop, where I then convert them to bookmarks on one of my servers, categorically [e: Linkding]; and the cycle repeats. I have something like 500 tabs on desktop, a couple hundred on mobile, and several thousand on the bookmark list. Even with tags, date/times and search, it’s still looking through a trove. From porn to home security, server hardware to virtualization, I can link you to a specific item after I find it in 3 to 5 business days.)
