    Why not? There are a lot of things that can help people to give less data to Google: ad blocker, Firefox, Firefox with Google container, avoid using Gmail, avoid using YouTube…

        Apart from the Firefox Google container (that’s available only on PC), all the rest can be achieve everywhere.

        Edit: I use Android, I just suppose that an AdBlocker can be used on iOS.

          Google still has access to info on iOS. You pretty much have to use a TOR browser if you want to avoid Google even in iOS, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve found a way in through that.

      You can plug all those holes, but your data is still leaking. And wait until Googles new Web Integrity API is implemented. They have a thousand tentacles that are grabbing data. You can cut off a hundred of them, but it really doesn’t make a difference.

        But let’s be practical: if I use th Firefox Google container and all the link I open are just the website I want ro visit, if I’m not logged in any Google service, how can Google monitor me on my PC?

        P.s. I also use (along with other) the Cookie Auto Delete plugin.

            Well, using Cookies Auto Delete, that’s not true if the scope is not to get tracked, because even with Google tracker, Google wouldn’t know that was me. Maybe with Canvas Blocker too, to protect against fingerprinting.

            You’re right (and I use it)!
