Me too. I sleep with my phone on airplane mode typically and I have woken up and checked the time and seen the camera indicator on for no reason. It’s quite disconcerting.

I use noai.duckduckgo.com I used startpage for a while but I kept having captcha pop ups when I’d use a vpn and I got sick of it. While I really wish DDG didn’t push AI as much as they do, it’s at least nice that they offer a completely AI free version too, I guess. There’s definite give and take with all of the search engines.

It’d be a shame if the cameras all ended up smashed!

A Fairphone with GrapheneOS would be the tops
