Browsers and VPN

Using SF's lead, DuckDuckGo is now my default search engine. However, I can say with certainty it doesn't give the depth of results that Google can. If needed, it can always be accessed. I'm trying to get away from Google. While handy, it seems to be getting a little...creepy. It gives me ad popups for things that I swear I've never searched for but was thinking about. No, I don't think it can read my mind, but it seems to be building quite the algorithm of my preferences. That's a little too Big Brotherish for me.

This is why I've used DDG for my search engine for several years now. Too many "coincidences" of ads showing up like you said. If I need more/better search results I'll use google but that's not often.

I want to run Nord through my router but as was already mentioned, it could get inconvenient. I think they sell routers though.
