As much as the NSA concerns me, and as a political issue it's far more important, I am interested in reducing dependency on Google because as far as I am concerned Google has broken its trust with me all by itself. It has nothing to do with the NSA debacle. I don't have time for a rant but the short is: I'm sick of their identity management, their willingness to put blatantly obvious "search bubble" results based on recent (or even non-recent) activity-- stuff that is prominently visible to anyone who might be sharing a screen with me. Ditto for chrome's "most visited pages" thumbnails when you open a new tab, which I disabled but had to install a plugin to do. There's some other minor issues. But the final straw came a few weeks ago when my search history showed up unexpectedly on my girlfriend's phone-- I suppose because she logged into chrome on my laptop to check her Gmail. Until she logged out, auto-complete on her phone was using MY search history from chrome on my desktop. What the FUCK? Obviously I trust her enough to let her log into my laptop so it didn't cause me problems here, but I had no way to know that would happen. So what's it going to be next time? What's google's next clever/reckless silicon valley echo chamber idea that's going to cause me problems? I'd rather not wait to find out. So I've begun the process of reducing google dependence. Email is a big one, Gmail is my single biggest google dependency.
