I haven’t used Google Maps in probably four or five years. Apple Maps doesn’t track me, Google does. And if I can navigate the maze of obscure privacy settings across my Google account, I still don’t trust myself to have done it correctly or Google to respect setting. Apple Maps is sufficient for my driving needs, and is more accurate and provides better routes than Tesla’s infotainment option.
On a side note, I haven’t found an easy way to use Google search logged out, but have a Gmail tab open. After months of irritation, I signed up for Kagi once they lowered the price for unlimited searches, and haven’t looked back. My personal and business Gmail accounts are my only Google ties (plus YouTube for the kids), and honestly I feel more secure this way.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoHow do you get it to stay logged in or the Kagi token to persist? It stays on mobile but every freaking time i use it with their browser (Orion, which is objectively sweet) on Mac, it wants me to relog in on Kagi.com or whatevs
- freediver 3y agoIf you select Kagi Search in Orion, you should have the option to enter your token.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoI meant like I do that all the time but ill be damned if i have to "log in" to use my broswer lol
- Cyberdog 3y agoInterestingly, Gmail seems to be the easiest major Google product to replace with an alternative, particularly if you’re willing to drop a few bucks a year.
