Just enabled DDG’s app track protection to test it out. Had Nekogram opened for a few mins, and Google already made 234 data collection attempts. I know the Big Guys are hungry for personal data, but this is absolutely ridiculous.

I do expect such stuff… but collecting so many categories of data in such a stubborn and aggressive way makes me wanna stop using anything that’s google-related. like dude stop looking at everything I do in my life. what’s next? how many liters of toothpaste I consumed in the past 3 days?
They would be quite happy to get that information from you, yes.
Yeah so they could suggest me a 50 cent toothpaste made out of mud and wood
You hear that? That’s the sound of your dental insurance rates increasing.
De-Googling is something I did about 5 years ago. It took me about 6 months on and off, but I’m super happy I did. There are always other (and actually better) alternatives to their services. The only one that I struggle not to use is YouTube - the alternatives are all worse.
I am very happy using FreeTube as an alternative frontend. No ads, all my subscriptions and watch history are local.
Grayjay is awesome! (Alternative to YouTube)

So pure out curiosity… and science! how many liters of toothpaste did you consume over the last 3 days?
