All good advice, thank you, and I'm pleased to see that I've already implemented similar choices myself.

What I don't understand though is why you link people to YouTube for your excellent "The Most PRIVATE Search Engine" video when you also have the content on the much more privacy-focussed Rumble: https://rumble.com/vzql5k-the-most-private-search-engine-2021.html

To help everyone, here's a link to your excellent Rumble channel, with well over 600 videos going back over a 10 year period: https://rumble.com/c/NaomiBrockwellTV

Thanks for everything you do and share, Naomi, like countless others I'm learning a lot from you.

It's interesting what you say above Brave.

I recently visited a product page in my Brave browser (found through a Startpage search) then moments later an advert for that product appeared in the Facebook feed on my Chrome browser. To me this suggests either a leak or deliberate collusion.

The real irony is that it was arguably a privacy-related product. One things for sure though, I won't be buying it if they tracked me like that for remarketing, so that's my short-list immediately reduced by one!!!

I may start looking at alternatives to Brave too. A shame as I thought it was quite good, but (whether accidental or otherwise) it does appear to have leaks.

If you stay logged in to facebook, they can track you all over the internet. I recommend logging out if you're not using it.

Thanks for the warning. Does that apply even when running in different browsers (I have Facebook & YouTube in Chrome, most other things in either Brave or DuckDuckGo, in the hope of keeping them separate)? Are things not working as I had hoped?
