Glad I never gave Plex any payment details, don’t reuse passwords, and don’t plan on using it any more so I can just ignore this

Brave has great anti-fingerprinting measures I just wish I could get that without installing crypto malware on my pc

If YouTube offered premium without music for a discounted price I’d probably be willing to pay for it. But I just want no ads, not a bunch of bundled stuff.

You’re forgetting the part where the video is coming from a cache server that isn’t designed to do this

That’s not on Google Play so it doesn’t affect it. I honestly don’t know what the point of this is.

Advertisers track you with device fingerprinting and behaviour profiling now. Firefox doesn’t do much to obscure the more advanced methods of tracking.

Was just a dopey idea in the first place. Nobody replaces a mouse because it’s lacking software features, they replace a mouse when the switches wear out.

I tried kagi for a month and the results were probably as good or slightly better than Google for 90% of searches but it completely falls apart any time you want something local or hyper-specific. It made me realize that the personalization that people hate with Google’s results actually saves a ton of time because I had to retry a lot of kagi searches with additional context.

Blocking ads and trackers in your browser and then using Google without an account will get you most of the way to what kagi is doing.

Big tech needs far stricter regulations but I don’t think people would like the internet very much if Google was forced to sell off services like YouTube. Nobody else is offering unlimited free hosting, discoverability, promotion, and bandwidth for video content and nobody ever will again. If the chromium project was sold off to some other shitty tech company, do you really think they’d keep the open source ‘ungoogled’ version readily available for everyone? A Google breakup would just mean that other tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, etc get more powerful.

That number would be even higher if everyone used untraceable and non-reversible crypto transactions.
