What's the worst privacy compromise that you are willing to admit you make? - Sopuli

I’ve got to make a decision and want to take a room temperature check on what sacrifices people find acceptable for their own comfort.

  • Waze . They know my location when I drive, and there are no alternatives (AFAIK) for traffic jam. I don’t use an account though, it’s not tied to Google or anything.
  • Kagi because all the others are worse. I may try SearX again to see if it’s good now.
  • PayPal sucks but it’s good for subscriptions.
  • Tuta and Bitwarden . They have a link to PayPal but the data is E2E encrypted.

Most of the time, I don’t mind a compromise as long as I can keep the data to myself and encrypted, or if the smartphone application can run without any permission.

The biggest threats for me in the above list are PayPal (they know what I buy), and Kagi (they know what I’m looking for). I could find a way to remove Kagi though…

Kagi has no way of knowing what you’re looking for if you use their privacy tokens.
