The Insanity of Google

The Introduction
Google is a company that originally had the idea in mind to make a web the people would like (correct me on that fact I got it from a biased news source) However the modern Google has become a mess through cookies, trackers, economy. Let me explain
Trackers, Cookie, Spyware
Google is a company that does not worship the privacy of its customers. For example, say you search up something super embarrassing multiple times, like Madonna or WiiMiiSwitch polls. Since you searched it multiple times, Google will log (save) that search and sell the data to advertising companies! Are you comfortable selling your web history to advertising companies?! I'm not for sure. Since they have many services they see what you do there too. This includes but is not limited to Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Blogger, and many other websites THEY PAY to sell your data. It's worse if you use Google Chrome since they HAVE YOUR HISTORY, however, unlike chromium, it adds trackers that are hard to find since Chrome isn't open source. It's horrible, it's hard to avoid since Google basically owns the "web" but we'll get back to that later
The Google Eco System
It's no doubt that you use Google Services (even at a bare minimum). However, these "services" do not worship the user. How? Simple, for example, you use Google Classroom which is a service for the students, they will give ADS TO YOU BECAUSE YOU USE GOOGLE CLASSROOM. Or let's use a better example. You watch YouTube videos on Vaccum Reviews. You get YouTube ads on vacuums since you looked at vacuums. Then you get those ads on Google since they SPIED ON YOU, then you get those vacuum ads on GMAIL. Then since many sites use Google Ads you get Vacumms there since THEY SPREAD YOUR DATA TO COMPANIES. That's why we have these services like Google Slides which seems unprofitable.
Google Is The Web, Or is It?


Some time ago, I was using Firefox and someone said "Why are you using that, no one uses that!" Why, because back in 2009 Google Chrome was better. People don't realize there are other useable web
browsers that are faster and better because of past slow browsers. Like Internet Explorer, for example, no one uses Edge because they still think Edge freezes like IE. Since Google Chrome was decent in like 2009 people are going to keep using it instead of looking for faster browsers or relooking old ones. People just think Google is the best, unaware of the trackers and the other shit they give you
Is it too late?

No, lots of browsers care about privacy and are much more faster and privacy based then Chrome

I don't think any form of online interaction could be considered truly private until the NSA is abolished which won't happen until the American empire bites the dust so it's really just choosing who you think will spy on you the *least*, you're gonna get spied on no matter what and your data's already in some government/corporate (what's the difference?) database somewhere waiting to be sold, I guarantee it.

THE SPYWARE APOCALYPSE
In the meantime here is a good chrome alternative
Vocals I
It's faster than Chrome and has a built in tracker blocker
They also think of the future of browsing with a unique tag system, history system , and extreme customization

mozilla gets most of their funding from google, puts sponsored content on your new tab page, and firefox reports back to them. Fortunately, due to its open source nature all of that can be disabled and turned off. If you really care about being spied on you'll need to also uninstall windows, as microsoft also exfiltrates information as well as leaves backdoors for government agencies. Unfortunately, the problem of personal privacy becomes seemingly more and more hopeless as even your processor has spyware in it. (Intel's management engine for those that want to learn more.)
I personally use Librewolf as my default browser, but that can be a little un-user friendly. Either learn to harden firefox or use brave. I also like the Ublock origin extension, as well as LocalCDN, CanvasBlocker and ClearURLs. If you want an escape from bloated http websites, then look into the gemini protocol. It's much simpler and doesn't have any of the annoying bloat.

Google stocks have dropped by 50% since you posted this and continue to steadily trend downwards. Absolutely devastating blow.
