And this is not just Google search engine. It is also every website on the internet that uses Google 3rd party API services...

“VPN”
I wish it were that simple. While a VPN is end to end tunneling so no one can see the content going through, and gives you a proxy server address, you are still connecting to their scripts at the target site which can get the other data.
They just about got us completely cornered.

Yep, that helps with fingerprinting for sure. But what this fails to mention is that Google is accessing your camera and microphone too. I found this out years ago...

Deep inside my Samsung google phone I found the toggle that allows Google every right you have ever granted to any app downloaded from the Android Store. To get rid of that, you have to decline it individually on each app. Took me half an hour to do that.

I am degoogled too. But it is hard because of all the websites that use Google services.
To: Openurmind
They are insidiously intertwined with so much it’s disgusting. Or is it incestually?

The kind of ads I see on Google and YouTube target me in a way that makes me wonder how they got that information. I’m always thinking of how Google is going to use any search I make so I self censor a lot.
