browser manipulation
hello
when I google or duckduckgo - my results are manipulated. when I visit sites like amazon, substack, indeed - really any major or secure website, the results seem manipulated.
note: the results are not typical algorithm results - they are jokey or insulting, out of context with the search query. the person doing this has been at this for a long time. they know me, etc.
it happens whether I'm logged into the site or just surfing like a guest
This happens in Firefox and any other browser (Safari, Brave, Chrome)
how do i stop this?
how is this even possible?
I found this article online but I'm not tech oriented and don't comprehend the jargon. https://www.comparitech.com/blog/information-security/web-browser-attacks/
thanks for any help or information in clear, simple English
