    Pocket is pretty good. I use it as my reading queue, but it also lets you strip out all the cruft that most modern news sites and blogs tend to have. Pushbullet is also great if you just want a stripped down way to share links and small fil

    Google's tracking everything you do on _their properties_ to begin with because they're a marketing company. Use DuckDuckGo if you don't like that. The pearl clutching in this thread is unreal.

    I don't understand why anybody concerned about having JS on a login screen would want to log into Google in the first place. I imagine there's a tiny overlap between "Runs NoScript" and "Trusts Google"
