The tyranny of GOOGLE. How to limit their exposure
Posted on 10/28/21 at 11:06 am
Posted on 10/28/21 at 11:06 am
I’ve decided to attempt to make a break from these authoritarian Google bastards, who do nothing but collect my data and fund hundreds of millions to Marxists/Socialists. They track your every move (as does FB, Twitter, etc). Drop them too.
I’m wondering how hard this will be as they crush any competition. They also own YOUTUBE.
Firefox is a good start, but TOR is better (just mind numbingly Slow). I’m in the process of changing all email to CTemplar. It’s the most secure anonymous email, who stores their servers in ICELAND, which has the strictest privacy laws in the world. I suggest not using your real name.
https://ctemplar.com/
If you don’t have a VPN, get one. I actually bought a 2 year license of BitDefender I bought on Amazon. It’s rated as one of the best out there as a virus protector and also has an easy to use vpn service built in. Actually do the reading and check the stars, because there is some frickery going on with these magazine raters. You can protect up to 5 devices (lab top, phone, iPad,etc). They have they own password generator in the service as well, which brings me to my next point.
BitDefender 2 Year subscription, 15 dollars off
Get a password generating program. I use KEEPER Password Manager. It’s free up to like 30-40 passwords. I love it, as it fills your info in so there isn’t copying and pasting on every site. The passwords are ridiculously hard to crack.
It’s 50% off until 11/1.
https://www.keepersecurity.com/
There are others, like the one embedded in BitDefender, but my brother says he has LastPass.
——-
Also use DuckDuckGo.
Any other nerds have anything to add? I’m curious as to how to speed up the TOR-Onion browser. I checked into it for about 15 minutes and quit. Also, let me know if google or any othe conglomerate owns any of these

Firefox is heavily funded by Google. It is controlled opposition so the browser market never technically becomes a monopoly, and it's saddled with its own leftist political BS.
What you want is Ungoogled-Chromium (Chromium with the Google stuff ripped out) or LibreWolf (Firefox with the Mozilla stuff ripped out).
Ungoogled-Chromium
LibreWolf

Tor essentially routes your connection through multiple layers of encrypted tunnels. The servers for these tunnels are volunteer operated and are free for anyone to use. Spammers abuse the hell out of the system so most websites have lockouts or additional captchas for Tor IPs.
It's essentially always going to be slow and painful to use Tor for general browsing.

Y'all doin it wrong. I don't care if Google is spying on me.
You have take them down with you and google weird stuff that no one wants to see. Like "fat chicks in pantyhose cooking collards for aliens."

Use
Brave for your browser. CEO is based, they get flak for shite privacy community gives Mozilla slack for.
Protonmail for email. Bunch of neck beards are mad they logged IP after a court order, but if we they didn't cooperate they would have been shut down and we would have lost a major provider of private email.
Bitwarden is the best password manager. Standard tier is free and has no restrictions for the most part. Open source
ProtonVPN
Signal for messages.
You're welcome. All of those services are ready for primetime.

Firefox is a great browser, but I don’t want to support their wokeness either.
I use Brave. It’s a great, secure browser.
I use DuckDuckGo instead of Google for my search engine.
I use a VPN.
I use ProtonMail for my email. End to end encryption.
Brave, DuckDuckGo, ProtonMail, etc are all about privacy.

"CTemplar is more secure than the vast majority of email services on the internet. Your emails are stored and transmitted in an encrypted format, so even CTemplar can't read them. For mailboxes, we provide by default, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) for faster email encryption and decryption. Support is also offered for 4096 bit RSA keys. For browsing, TLS 1.3 is enabled, preventing anyone from intercepting your messages, further improving your privacy."
quote:

Why have a network that only allows you 5 devices? That's pretty arbitrary and dumb. If you're paying for a Virtual Private Network, it should connect any device you, the user, choose to connect. And don't let others handle your passwords, ever.
quote:

Again, don't let others create your passwords. If you want randomization, just randomly press keys. Encrypt the file you keep your passwords on natively and separate from the device. Arbitrarily creates 30-40 passwords? What a joke.

Who created TOR?
This might be where your missing an opportunity to toss a tiny wrench into their Al-Gore-ithym.
Try searching
“How to Build a Failed Society of black whiny Vegan Transsexuals?”
Or
“How is my donation to the George Soros AIDS infected mutual alliance league being used?”
Or
“Why do Zionist’s put subliminal messages in Children's Cartoons”
The more fricking dystopian orientated you make the search the better.
ETA just resist clicking on the search results

Oh the irony...
All those who labeled vax'ers as "sheep", those who use their iPhone to google/FB/snapchat/tic tock/etc all day long; let the gov't, consumer world and black market know and track practically all there is to know about them, including their perno inferno desires.
Bhahahahaha...

NordVPN and their CyberSec ad blocking technology is hard to top.
I go through Australia every time (getting around geolocks for TV.) Even with that Google is able to use any other device running & my search history to tell me exactly where I am down to the block. If Apple ever releases a Note like device (or Samsung stops making a phone with its features) I'll join the rest of my family in the iPhone/Apple ecosystem.

What about Brave? I just looked at ctemplar.com and that actually seems to be something of interest.
We are still in the wild wild west days of the internet and at some point I think things will get better & more secure.
