Firefox for the win. Or Librewolf even better.

The way Google is starting to abuse its position of power to crackdown on its users, its really comes to show the cracks in its armour.

It's the beginning of the end for Google.

Long live open source software!

Well of course. Now all your traffic goes through proxies to Google's servers for analytics.

100℅ data harvesting.

Genius move by Google. Even calls it a security/privacy measure!

They will succeed too. Most of the human race are Neanderthals anyway. Couldn't care less.

Opensource Sweden!

Nice!

Get those f*ckers!

However, the latest trend in the EU, is to pave way for a legislation to intercept encrypted messages on a government mass surveillance scale level.

They can achieved this by (pre)installing MTM (man-in-the-middle) software on new devices. Or require a user to install a (Trojan) app on their phone to be able to access a particular public service etc.

Now, That's troubling news indeed.

Edit: The EU is turning into a police state.

Google Maps as well. Very inaccurate at times.

Quad9 is a non-logger.

9.9.9.9 (duh)

Social media as it's worse.

Facebook, Instagram, X and WhatsApp, all toxic waste.

At least there are platforms like Lemmy, where people (most of the time) share knowledge in an "anonymous" environment, which is actually brilliant for passing on information to the next man, without the toxication and promotion of suicidal tendencies.

Social media in the common sence always was a cancer in our modern society.

One of the best thing I did till this day was to never have open a Facebook account. I see that as a personal merit!

Google! - the best spying engine the world has ever seen - collaborating with the 3 letter agencies.

LOL!

I9's - 1000w powerdraw for guaranteed boosting capabilities.

Problem is, no thermal solution for this fire hazard is yet to be invented.

Oh no! They did an Intel move.

Librewolf and Signal user.

A man of culture I see.

IPhone scans your photos even!

They say its to protect the children.

LOL!!

That's hilarious!

Valorant is a fucking awful game with über ban techniques when you force quit a game for some reason, like needing to go to the bathroom in middle of game play.

I can't understand anyone can accept such a thing.

Oh no! That will fuck up my muscle memory!

Oh wait!

I don't use Winblows! Ufa!

Edit: seriously though, this whole AI super spyware baked into Windows is a privacy violation on a whole different level.

Too bad most ppl don't give a fuck.

Freetube for the win. Built in sponsor block.

Looks like a great business plan to me.

Edit: Firefox is a great option for more privacy.

Librewolf is a hardened fork of Firefox, but not for everyone. Although I am very happy with it personally.

Funny j just got one today.

Of course I did my part!

First steam survey I ever got and I have been on steam as long as I can remember.

Yes, tech enthusiasts are a minority and most people are tech illiterate.
