Let's hope someone who values privacy and respect that remove this connection to Google because that is a disaster. So put the uBlock Origin or Pi-hole to work to stop this abusive crap.
- roscas 10mo agoLet me add a few more words, while we should all appreciate the archive.org works and we should, their https://archive.org/about/terms https://archive.org/about/terms are from 2001. There is no single mention of Google but they mention Netscape. Do they have anyone who manages their privacy terms? I'm sure this Google scripts are not from 2001.
