iCloud runs in the Google Cloud Service.

I think you will like it. Has served Mrs. Taxman and I faithfully and well ever since I discovered that Google was anti-American and quit using it many years ago!

No you didn't. You just used it by visiting this page.

The first place to start is a secure email account.
Protonmail is the only place to go.
Android and 90% of server farms are owned by Google.
This message is being processed thru Google.

Google owns much of the underbelly of other non-google search engines and browsers.

They don’t own Bing but MS does.
Its all very complicated but fix your email first!

Well, then, I quit using it on purpose!

Google is much like AOL - apparently Google has figured out how to take over the internet, and has done so.

Wouldn’t be quite as bad if the Google poobahs were conservative; since they are LIEberal, we KNOW they are up to no good!

Google needs to be forcibly broken apart!

Brave for your browser, DuckDuckgo for search engine, Proton for email.

Ditto.

Gibiru is very good as primary and DuckDuckGo secondary. DuckDuckGo also plays games with search results, however does not track.

I’ve just discovered https://yippy.com — pretty cool search engine, the way the left column helps refine searches.

They also have a private email service (startmail.com), it will cost ~60/yr but is worth it to not have your data mined by google.

Google is not datamining your purchase receipts that are sent to your gmail account.

Do you really want them tracking what you buy at cabelas, midwayusa, etc?

DDG still favors “major news sites”, so there is some bias, but it is not intentional, but more incidental.

ixquick.eu is another excellent choice Perhaps better, in that it has a proxy to view a given site.

I also use Brave (a decidedly un-PC browser) and have it set to clear history and cookies upon each exit. I just get good at typing in my passwords, which are not saved anywhere.

Yeah, they are pretty ingrained. I never use ‘internet explorer’ but every morning when I power up and run my computer clean up programs there is always a little something on IE. I failed to turn off my ‘location services’ on my phone once and at the end of the month goggle sent me a summary of my travels with a map. I shut off the location service pronto. Not that the phone can’t be pinged from towers. Then again, it is mostly in the off position anyway. Make a call, take a call. Power down.
