GoogleSellsAds
Google isn’t tech. Google is ads. A real garbage company.
Google exists for selling ads. All their tech exists to support them doing just that. You’re the product.
Are they selling snap beans?
With the direction FF is taking it’s gonna be forks for now.
The only thing that held me back from using LibreWolf over Firefox was that it disabled (automatic) dark mode on websites. I understand this is part of the “resist fingerprinting” configuration. There’s a workaround now ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1732114).
In about:config update these 3 preferences:
- privacy.resistFingerprinting = false
- privacy.fingerprintingProtection = true
- privacy.fingerprintingProtection.overrides = +AllTargets,-CSSPrefersColorScheme
If you use anything Google, you are the product. This has been pretty obvious since the early 2000’s, yet people dive right into all the crap they release.
Or anything Google for that matter. I see a lot of praise on Lemmy for their Pixel phones, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they eventually find there was a backdoor in their firmware all this time. Yes of course, I can not prove that right now, but this news about Google Chrome isn’t news for no reason. Don’t trust anything Google if you care about privacy, it is literally their business model (selling targeted ads).
