Now when I click to a website “google” isn’t popping up at all. The hesitation that was there stopped. It’s like it was trying to use google so there was a hesitation before going to whatever web site. It was doing that for every search. I think this may have done it. Maybe try that.

So 🙌 🙌 that we are figuring this out!! I’m thinking I’ll change to a proton mail acct. I see lots of people switching to that too.
Proton has definitely crossed my mind!!
