Google isn’t tech. Google is ads. A real garbage company.
That’s pretty optimistic, as tons of power users are still eating that Windows crap, too.
Most people here have a device in their pocket with either Google hardware or Google software. If even the nerds with a passion against ads can’t not buy something from the biggest ad company, who can?
If you use anything Google, you are the product. This has been pretty obvious since the early 2000’s, yet people dive right into all the crap they release.
Google’s core business is selling ads. So anything that aligns with selling ads is the path they’ll take. Their users are the product.
With the direction FF is taking it’s gonna be forks for now.
The only thing that held me back from using LibreWolf over Firefox was that it disabled (automatic) dark mode on websites. I understand this is part of the “resist fingerprinting” configuration. There’s a workaround now ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1732114).
In about:config update these 3 preferences:
Google exists for selling ads. All their tech exists to support them doing just that. You’re the product.
Great, let me contact Apple to roll out my advertisement strategy.
Oh damn, it’s only about ads in their app store. They must make a killer now they’re in Google’s market of web advertising.
Are you seriously that dumb that you’re comparing selling ads in a store (the App Store) with selling ads on every other inch of the internet?
There is quite some difference between selling ad-space in a store and having ads as your one and only business model. You wouldn’t know of course and that’s why you are a Google fanboy.
Reddit was already invaded by bots before the API. I’d say it was most obvious right before the time Trump was elected.
Sounds like you’re too smart to be on Lemmy. Sorry I offended you by spelling the name of your favorite ad company wrong.
I mean, you’re right if by humans you mean kids.
Depending on the subject, I encounter more and more threads with <deleted by user> content. And billions and billions and billions of results that are either spam or written by unprofessionals.
The smart crowd is not there anymore. The smart crowd that once was there, has removed the content that Reddit was worth visiting for. Let the Googzz have them and sell ads to each other.
People don’t hate Google as much as they should. It’s cringeworthy how much they promote this ad company on this platform. They don’t even realze themselves they got comprised.
No, only Google has backdoors that are coming to light tome after time. Stop defending them Google ad fan boi.
Google fan boy. Good luck promoting that shitty ad company.
You’re too smart for this site. I too love taking trains across both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans!
Anything trying to run “private” that introduces anything Google into the environment should be considered compromised. Why would want anything from the biggest corporate ad business in the world in your environment?
Probably hates Google for tracking his every move online (hence the Google Pixel phone).
Are they selling snap beans?
MS 2 decades late to Google’s ad game.
