Thinking about de-Googling your life? What better place to start than ditching Google itself? Brave Search is a real privacy-focused alternative with its own independent index that doesn’t track your searches or clicks https://t.co/NV7jkJXOqI by @brave

If you're trusting OpenAI with your health data, it's over for you. The "dedicated space" is a one-way valve. Your regular ChatGPT history flows INTO Health conversations "to make them more relevant." They're enriching your health profile with everything you've ever told them.
