WTF! No sign up or anything! Just a fucking email telling me I'm using it?

Fuck you Google!

I remember distinctly looking for a picture for a shit post, then I magically subscribed to having my data at their disposal? What the ever living fuck. Google will regret this move.

Don't sign in? Use private tabs. Also would highly suggest other search engines like DDG

    DDG is just a custom wrapper for bing and explicitly gives some microsoft trackers a pass.

    Sadly enough there is no practical independent search engine that doesn’t try to track you. The best option i know is a self hosted searxng, which still relies on google/bing/others for results but is designed to block all trackers equally without special exemptions.

    That article is about duckduckgo browser, just use duckduckgo in firefox?

    p.s. just stop using google products, nothing is perfect, just move over to the best service for you that is privacy respecting. In this case duckduckgo as a search engine alone is a good choice.
