Is there any way I can stop google and youtube from seeing what I am doing or ‘talking’ to each other about what I am doing at least? Its been happening enough that I am just seriously weirded out and not comfortable, I thought I would ask here and hopefully get some help.

    here is what I recomend:

    1. Use FreeTube. It is a fully open source youtube client which fetches videos from invidious which makes u anonymous while accessing youtube and allows you to “Subscribe” to individual creators so you can check on what they post. More here: freetubeapp.io

    2. Install and configure uBlock Origin.

    import custom filter lists such as Developer Dans Lightswitch 05: https://www.github.developerdan.com/hosts/

    and OISD Filter list which can be found at oisd.nl.

    1. change search engine to brave search or duckduck go and use a more privacy friendly browser like Firefox. If you do not want to give up chromium, I recommend Vivaldi which allows for chrome extensions and offers many search engines to choose from which are privacy friendly.
