Totally unsafe.

Meh, works for me and I prefer the format.

That’s fine. I use a VPN. And despite the recent change of policy, I still use DuckDuckGo.

LOL....I'd be excited if the feds found me interesting.

Lol. Fair point.

Although, given some of the strange searches I conduct related to many of our more bizarre threads, I wouldn’t be totally shocked to see my name on one of their lists.

A Colorado Law firm is suing Google for allowing the FBI and other governent agencies access to the past searches of it's billions of users to be searched for data related to crimes and suspects of crimes.

The Searched are called 'Keyword Searches" and have immense implications for everyone who uses Google Search Engine.

Unknown is if the suspects arrested were using a VPN or not and if so, how the FBI homed in on the suspects.

May I suggest alternatives...Like Duck Duck Go.

You’ve got it all wrong – Google is not the ‘villain.’

From you link:

“Initially, Google refused to comply with the first two warrants. But after complying with the third, authorities were led to three suspects. As a result, three teenagers were charged with murder.

But on Wednesday, defense lawyers for Gavin Seymour, one of three charged in the crime, filed a motion to challenge the judge's decision to use evidence from the warrant. The lawyers requested the Colorado Supreme Court review the matter after the judge denied a request for the evidence to be inadmissible.”

The issue is the validity of the warrant, regardless how the evidence was obtained.
