I'm having problems on my android phone. On some websites, I get a message saying I'm using an old browser, other times a search takes me to a random page I haven't searched for. 

I'm using chrome and it's on an automatic upgrade so shouldn't be a problem. 

I'm not very tech savvy, any knowledge I have has been on a need to know basis and this is a new one on me. 

Any ideas. 🤔

    1. Try using a different Chrome based browser like the "Brave Browser" instead of Google and see what happens.

    2.As for the search engine, suggest using DuckDuckGo instead of Google search.

    3.In case you do not know:
    The Browser is your doorway to the internet.
    The search engine is what you use to look around the internet

    Thanks for your help. I've installed DuckDuckGo and so far so good. 🤞
