Facebook’s shadow profile of me does not even begin to hold a candle to Google’s shadow profile of me.
And Google has been monetizing that profile for a lot longer than Facebook has.
- bjz_ 8y agoSo while we're at it we should look at breaking up Google as well.
- bluGill 8y agoI only use google for youtube and cloud print. I'd like to break up with the latter but I haven't figured out how (history says google will force this in the near future). YouTube has a lot of great content (mixed in with even more worthless garbage) that isn't elsewhere, so I can't figure out how I'd break up with it.

- bluGill 8y agoTrue. I wish there was a good way to stop that.
- Xeanort 8y agoA good AdBlocker (like uBlock Origin) is usually enough. Also the tracking protection of Firefox is not bad.
- 411mrc 8y agoA custom router can do this for all devices on your network. That is what I use.
- chupasaurus 8y agoDo you carry your router with you all the time to provide a bridge to mobile networks?
