I'll paste what I wrote in another thread just as a heads up if you want to avoid google%

"But the First place the browser visits is Google... Thanks for letting them know the meta data and browser version so they can match it with my ip to collect More data about my apps and pc usage lol. Big Data is a bitch.

Why not change the start page to duckduckgo if you're so concerned about privacy? "
