Speaking of 'trust demolition', here's how Google has demolished my trust: In Chrome they have added a new option: "Allow Chrome sign-in". It appears to be a placebo. Even if it is turned off, if you sign in to Gmail then your browser is also signed in, enabling Google to surveil you even more. There appears to be a pattern here. Google maps tracks your location even when you turn off location history. I used to be an unabashed Google fan, now I am in the process of de-googling my life wherever I can.

- FabHK 8y agoWelcome to the club. I'm on DDG for search, Apple Maps where possible, Zoho for shared spreadsheets etc., Youtube in a browser in incognito mode, or downloading via youtube-dl in the terminal, and my old gmail is set to forwarding to other accounts, which I primarily use. Anything else one can do to degoogle? (How nice it would be if that word also entered the language...)
