Another great feature, and the more protection the better really, I think unencrypted websites shouldn’t exist anymore (unless for very small, blog style websites, but even then, just get encryption).
Got a tip for us?

The problem is not the free model. The problem is the persistent, invasive tracking. The average consumer is: a) unaware to the extent of it, and b) unable to break out of it regardless if they use Google products or not.
Not really. Always ask yourself, how do they come up with the money to sustain it. ViValdi and Opera? The only sustainable chromium browser is Brave which is sustained by cryptocurrency and you don't have to join if you don't want to, its OFF by default and is open source. The only one I can think of is Ungoogled Chromium that is more of a community hobby work.
Firefox does it off donations but their contract with Google is drying up and they might go bankrupt. They laid off their employees.
Well, Apple is whoring you out by taking billions to feed your search results to Google. Personally, I don't mind targeted ads over random feminine hygiene ads but what I do mind is putting too much of my data in one basket. Apple has your fingerprint, face, health, financial and who knows what else. I'd rather divvy it up so not one entity has everything.
Firefox yes, Safari no.
I dislike the idea that Apple has allowed Google to be its search engine by default. However, for the other data, it is pretty private and secure.
Secure Enclave stores keys (256-bit) that manage sensitive data such as passwords, your credit card used by Apple Pay, and your biometric identification to enable Touch ID and Face ID. This makes it harder for hackers to gain access to your personal data without your password. These keys are unique to your device and they’re never synchronized with iCloud. This is why even if you do an iCloud backup on a new device, you're always prompted to re-input Apple Pay information and re-do FaceID or TouchID.
Your health, iMessage, and Home information are end-to-end encrypted through iCloud. Only you have access to that information on your devices.
Apple makes it pretty easy on what you want to personalized and what you don't. It's just a matter of delving into the Settings App.
Of course, none of what I mentioned matters if anyone reading this is a conspiracy theorist, an Apple Hater (though I don't know why you would be on this thread) and or fully skeptical of everything.

When one entity holds all your data in one basket you risk losing everything when there's a leak like the celeb private photo leak.
I have Apple products dating back to 1977 but not a blind sheep. If you think that way, anyone not an original Apple user shouldn't even be on here. OG Apple users only then.
How does it do that, if one doesn't use google (either through duckduckgo or use bing)?
