What kind of joke is this? You are telling us to use a US-based search engine in a propietary browser made by a US-based company that we already know has given direct access to the NSA? What the fuck.
We don't "know" anything such thing about direct access. We have no evidence other than interpretations of a vague slide that fly in the face other claims.
still... it seems odd to tell people that to ensure their privacy they should change their search engine preference, but keep on running a full-time spying program created by Google.
