Mastodon MigrationOct 2, 2023

So, this surveillance capitalism thing is totally out of hand. Today @protonmail had a great explainer (https://mastodon.social/@protonmail/111165171600485248) on the mind bending evil Google is up to with it's new "privacy features". But pretty much every tech company is now in the business of profiling you and monetizing your tidbits.

What can you do? A lot as it turns out, but if you just want ONE EASY THING that you can do today, SWITCH TO FIREFOX (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) and make DuckDuckGo your default search engine.

@mastodonmigration @protonmail I’ve seen a lot of suggestions for DDG as a Google alternative and I even made it my default but I had to revert because I couldn’t find things near as quickly. I guess I need to try #kagi next, hopefully I can get a feel for if it’ll suit my needs within the free tier. Also there’s really no good alternative to YouTube which is just another Google product.
