Stop being tracked by Google search with Firefox

on Mastodon

When you use google search and you click on a link, you a redirected

on a google server that will take care of saving your navigation

choice from their search engine into their database.

1. This is bad for your privacy

2. This slow the process of using the search engine because you have a

redirection (that you don't see) when you want to visit a link

There is a firefox extension that will fix the links in the results of

the search engine so when you click, you just go on the website

without saying "hello Google I clicked there":

[Google Search Link Fix](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-search-link-fix/)

You can also use another web engine if you don't like Google. I keep

it because I have best results when searching technical. I tried to

use Yahoo, Bing, Exalead, Qwant, Duck duck go, each one for a few days

and Google has the bests results so far.
