Is it possible to quit Google?
- Zenst 14y agoMust be a slow news day as it isn't that hard to use the internet without using any google products. How the article failed to list alternative search engines is somewhat supprising and seemed to be more a privacy min-rant if anything. Simple answear yes you can avoid google whilst using the internet. Just as you can read the news from other sources instead of the BBC, all things being equal. Still suppose it highlights that consumers have a choice, even if those alternative choices are not listed or highlighted - they are out there if you so wish.
- jgeorge 14y agoI swore off most of Google about 6 months ago or so. Contrary to apparently popular opinion, there's a whole big Internet out there that isn't part of Google. I still use Search at work, solely because the project I'm currently working on (last 12 months or so) requires a lot of searching for information, and my browser history with google is helpful in determining places I have/have not already searched when altering search terms. Other than that, I can count on my fingers the number of times I hit a Google product each week, and usually have fingers left over.
