Wikipedia wrote:

Chibi (ちび or チビ?) is a Japanese slang word meaning "short person" or "small child". The word has gained currency amongst fans of manga and anime. Its meaning is of someone or some animal that is small. It can be translated as "little", but is not used the same way as chiisana [小さな] (tiny, small, little in Japanese) but rather cute. A prototypical example of the former usage in the original Japanese which brought the term to the attention of Western fans is Chibiusa, a pet name for the diminutive daughter of Sailor Moon formed from Chibi Usagi ("Little Rabbit").[1]

a good old google search never hurts

I heard it tracks what you search.  Partly why I didn't search it and Minecraft.

If you don't want to use Google, why not use yahoo, bing, or duckduckgo.com? I see nothing wrong with them.

In Britian the government tracks your searches so they can arrest you if you enter something illegal.

Yahoo = fail
Bing = fail
duckduckgo.com =/= known search engine

Most websites track what you do. Wonderful, ain't it?

More importantly, they get your IP address, information and location.  wink

Most search engines do. If you're that worried use a proxy or incognito mode

Plus nothing's gonna happen unless you're searching illegal stuff

My mother. Maybe she was just saying that to make me cautious... but they do track texts.
