Am I being too critical for thinking someone writing an article like this should know that Google searches / suggestions are personalized? Just because its suggested for them does not mean its universal.
If IP address X does a query, then a moment later the same IP does the same query but just doesn't send any cookies, I am pretty sure Google knows it's the same person.
I blame myself for being stupid for believing that the web was about helping people reach progress through minimal harm. Sigh. Innocence !
In my google search suggestions, it falls behind "how to leave a group chat" and "how to leave a meetup group". Therefore it must be true that more people are trying to figure out how to get out of group chats or break it off with their meetup group than leaving facebook. This also must be a sign of the demise of group chat.
The other questions, hmm.
Another way to bypass customized results is to use StartPage. The only suggestion I get from there is "how to leave town"
> how to leave a group text on iphone
> how to leave a google review
> how to leave a review on etsy
> how to leave a group chat
> how to leave facebook
> how to leave a club in lol (??)
> how to leave ashran (??)
> how to leave a discord server (??)
Seems Google has me pegged as a gamer... (I'm not, had to DDG all the suggestions marked with a question mark)
