Friendly reminder that if you're a person who respects their individual privacy and freedom, there is no reason to be using the products created by the CIA honeypot that is the Google company.
There is a plethora of options available for you to replace your Google apps that are lighter, faster and better in general, including respect for freedom and privacy.

>WELCOME TO THE BOTNET is this some fucking joke? What made people all of a fucking sudden want to stop using google products?
Asher Flores
Google gives you much better search results because of its' botnet features. I don't care if they know what websites I visit if it means that I don't have to go through 10 pages of worthless results to get what I'm looking for.

How good is the Brave browser? What are the best map alternatives to google?
Angel Anderson
Haha, that made me laugh! Have an upvote!
Juan Price
what are you looking for?
Jacob Brooks
What does Yalp?
Parker Robinson
brave is built of chromium so it still talks to google and feeds them user statistics searx.me, duckduckgo.com, ixquick etc
Chase Hill
Open Street Maps MAPS.ME for GPS on mobile
Robert Russell
Anything that could have multiple meanings or is similar to x more popular thing, a search engine will default to the most popular thing in both cases as generally that is what people will be looking for, but with Google because of its' data collection it knows that maybe you're not interested in these things, so it pushes the what would otherwise be a less relevant result to the top for you. Sure you can guess that Google probably sells your information to chink botnets or whatever, but it's not without benefit for the end user.
Robert Adams
Library of Play Store apk's without the Google
Mason Ross
Thanks
Ayden Jackson
DuckDuckGo, Google, and Startpage show the exact same conent
Ryan Morgan
No, it's based off the blink engine, which isn't botnet like chromium is
Kayden Collins
No they don't, if I'm signed into Google it gives me far better search results 100% of the time.
Benjamin Young
Oh sweet. I debloated my tablet out of samsung and google apps so it's a good point to start
Nathaniel Cooper
this is shilling right? there can't be such a difference in results for you to say such a preposterous thing
Jacob Turner
It's not much the difference. The results are just in different order, but you still get the same. Most likely search engines like Bing for example would end with much better results if people used it more
Luis Taylor
google give better results unless you are searching for something that they don't want you to find
case in point: it is impossible to find animexd on google.
Juan Russell
Google removes a lot of websites from their engine. Streaming sites, download sites (torrents included, or at least most of them), """alt-right"""" sites, etc.
Wyatt Lee
Add searx to search engines, Tutanota and OpenMailBox to emails, for "app store" list Racoon, Wire, Riot, Ring for SMS/Hangouts. Also why not list Firefox on mobile as well? Android WebKit is botnet. the superior method senpai

its a google play search engine and downloader basically the play store but free as in freedom not free beer

This.
You faggots will use shit tier alternatives like bing but when it comes down to it, you won’t take the applepill and get rid of fagdroid
Julian Bailey
MEGA is co-opted, strongly disadvise
Mason Campbell
Hahah, the only company that caters to all of Sup Forums's autism is jewgle. You’ll never be able to quit them.
Thomas Nguyen
There is, the difference between even using Google while logged in and using it when not logged in is significant if you've been using it for any length of time. It's even more pronounced on YouTube.
Jordan Perry
>google collects metric shittons of data >haha what no way they give you different results when they know everything about your browsing habits? impossible! Google IS the best search engine, but the decision you have to make is whether or not the extra convenience is worth giving up some of your privacy.
Tyler King

Ryan Harris
That's why I added encrypt beforehand yourself. They try to be open as possible, but they are not trustworthy unless they open source their servers. Still best we have right now.

You're retarded dude. And so is the guy you're replying to. People have been advocating against Google for over a decade

I'm sure the flood of anti-Google posts is totally just a coincidence.

Did you first start browsing Sup Forums yesterday or something? I can't converse with someone who has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

What about Vivaldi for a browser?
Grayson Myers
Not as good as MAPS.ME, tbqh
Ayden Clark
Now don't be retarded and delete your shit just because of politics.

What's the alternative? iOS is garbage
William Hernandez
freedom to fire whoever you want and freedom to be criticized for it and freedom to question a company's culture and freedom for users to look for alternatives. what is it about freedom do leftist not understand?
Jaxson Hughes
cant wait for google to loose 1% of there userbase (that would multible million users btw)
Bentley Collins
Just use AOSP. Android without all the google garbage
Isaac Reed
I was de-Googled BEFORE IT WAS COOL. Except filling out these dang captchas
Andrew Johnson
Gapps is needed if you don't want non shit funcionality
James Adams
How much do you lose without gapps? I know a lot of apps can work with no problems, and even some nip games aren't google-service dependant anymore
Dominic Green
>a physical notebook TickTick is a pretty good replacement (ignoring the optional sync account that is)
Evan Thomas
How can u use signal without weirdos google services?
They don't give any apk and u need a lot of google dependencies to build it.
That shit doesn't look like an alternative '
Michael Morales
Uses JavaScript for its UI, so it lags of you have a low end pc
Leo Gonzalez

Matthew Gray
If Vivaldi wasn't that slow to render sites, it would be my main browser
Christopher Campbell
Is there a good search engine other than google that supports searching with an image?
Luis Adams
>ditch google >install weirdos google services kek
Jonathan Gomez
The one thing I'm struggling to replace is Google News. I like just being able to search a topic and seeing a wide range of articles from different outlets on it. Duckduckgo has a similar feature, but it just doesn't seem to be as good, with comparisons of results revealing a lot lacking.
Youtube, there's no getting away from, particuarly on the dekstop. NewPipe fucking blows.
Justin Sanders
I have one obscure de-googleing tip For people who are addicted to Granblue Fantasy like me and can't just switch off chrome because it's not compatible with Firefox or any other browser.
>Click the 3 dots tab in the top right of Chrome >Show more tools >Add to desktop
Now it will open the website with no search bar so you can't accidentally walk into the botnet. Addons like Viramate will still work. Now you never have to open a real Chrome browser again.
Charles Edwards
>gapps is needed All gapps does is make it more convenient for the non technologically literate
Logan Scott
>granblue fantasy You can also download the app from qooapp
It's been rebranded as a browser game for a reason. The mobile version is very poorly optimized and practically abandoned.
Cooper Smith
Oh, I see. I guess it makes sense. There's no point on the app if you can just play it on the browser.
Easton Anderson
Ignore Le Brave meme. It's yet another close sourced Chromium pile of shit with an ad blocker slathered on top.
Sebastian Sanders
What you lads need is a ROM with signature spoofing support (i.e. NitrogenOS, AOSIP) and if you can't find that, then find a deodexed ROM (most are) and patch it in yourselves with Nanomod (everyone should check this out) THEN, you can install microG. Finally got my RN3P up and running on Nougat 7.1.2 with both Magisk, unoffical Xposed, MicroG AND substratum (need dem themes mang) subscribe for more
Cooper Reyes
Yeah, blink is 100% FOSS like webkit is. The engine is fine.

hasn't journalism been like that for ages now? Too bad lots of the people talking about it on internet are based on those sites own "summary", rather than reading the thing by themselves
Jaxon Jenkins
>hasn't journalism been like that for ages now?
I'm sure you're right. I've only truly realized how bad it is in the last 4 years or so, though I noticed plenty of shit articles before that. The The Gell-Mann amnesia effect is real.
>Too bad lots of the people talking about it on internet are based on those sites own "summary" posting the actual document would contradict their lies. My god are these people scum
