If you don’t want Google to see what you’re doing then don’t use Google products
To do that literally is actually quite hard if not impossible for most people. A deGoogled mobile device that is functional - that is a quite a technical challenge.
However, ditching Chrome is obviously low-hanging fruit. Drives me crazy that so many people can’t see the obvious problem of having a web where the client and the server belong to the same company.
Mfers be like hey look at this starving bear, I’m going to cuddle it but take precautions like wrap my arms up in toilet paper!
When will people realize none of those settings mean shit because there’s no way to verify they actually do what they say they do.
And Google has zero credibility just like every megacorp.
If you use any product designed by Google, it’s raping you for every bit of data it can and no amount of “hey but I turned off targeted ads” is making a single iota of difference.
