I think I’ve written this before, but back in their heyday, #Mozilla was flying high, driven by the funds coming from its search deal with #Google. When the GOOG started to cut back and then launched a competing browser, Moz panicked (rightly) because all the high-sounding promises they made were predicated on this huge level of funding that went away. Now that #Firefox hold… -

@mangeurdenuage Is #Qwant really that pervasive? #Google got to be so big because its results were better than existing search providers. Yahoo used to be close (even with a Bing backend) and #DuckDuckGo was even closer (with Bing, #Yandex, and others), but lately, using a non-G search results in just going back to G. . The deep secret among search providers is that the "B" i… -

“Turn on Play Protect”
None for me, thank you. I see the kinds of garbage that gets into the #Google #Play_Store. I’d rather rely on a few motivated #F-Droid maintainers to inspect and package the software on my devices than your auto-scan software.
(BTW, let me emphasize again that #de-google is NOT ENOUGH. #DecentraLife ... I want to remove not just Google from my life, but all #corpocentric gatekeepers.) -

Ever since my #upgrade to #Debian 10 / #buster, I've had problems with #Epiphany crashing and my home filesystem getting intermittently (and seemingly randomly) low on space. I think I just solved both problems by disabling the #Google Safe Browsing feature, "Try to block dangerous websites":

"And of course, if you don’t agree to our new Terms and what we can expect from each other as you use our services, you can find more information about your options in our Frequently Asked Questions" -- #Google's e-mail about changes to their #ToS.
We already know these are "my way or the highway" agreements, so someone's "options" are to accept it as is or close their account(s) before the effective date. -
