I use the built-in anti-tracking in Safari and Firefox, plus a bunch of ad and tracker blockers.

And Tor, when I'm looking up an easily misinterpreted search term as "bombe surprise"

People still use Google search, which keeps your search history forever if you "log in" (I am told) and probably keeps a shadow profile if you are not logged in as a Google user.(I suspect it more every time they deny it)
