8·14 hours agoCertainly there are some mistakes to fix, but anyway the EU is doing something to make a more private and better web, in the US they do way less, converging to zero. The results are there
Eg Microsoft US
vs EU
Lightyears, failures aside, they are doing something right in the EU. Because of this it’s always advisable to use preferably EU soft and services related to privacy and user rights.
Exact, if you have cat and dog, you know that the cat is always the boss.
A few years ago I lived in a rural village and there I had a dog, doberman mix, and also cats, of course when you came home with the dog after a rainy walk, there was a towel waiting in the hallway, next to the entrance but if a 45 kg energetic creature decides that shaking it out, running into the house and jumping onto the sofa is enough before you can reach for the towel, make method with the towel often turns out to be questionable. Never problems of this with cats, only that cats and dogs together are a terrible team (Cats know how to open the refrigerator and the dog has enough strength to do it.)
Less if you use clumping litter, with it all remains become solids which yo can eliminate easy with an shovel and the rest remains clean. It cost a few more (+€1-2), but last 2-3 more time of normal litter.
Yes, entering with the wet and dirty dog after this in your living room.
I remember when my mother-in-law lost the 710 cover of her car and the problem to buy a new one
Yes, you can easily block the tracking crap being downloaded to your HD and added to your browser, almost everyone do it, but you can’t blck the logging of websites which use the Google (mostly) and other APIs. They store your PC and browser data in their server, which you can’t access. The only possibility is using a VPN and other which spoof or fake your data, so that is don’t have a real value. To use a mail which permits to mask your real mail direction, because your mail is an unique identifier which can be tracked all over the web. Using Image share which delete the EXIF data (vgy.me eg., Read always PP to see with which companies are shared your data, and some protections more to patch the worst privacy holes, but forget 100% privacy in the moment you goes online, it’s only a myth to calm the people which intent to stay private with their shitty PC against the tech of the big ones.
Google is only one of a advertising and tech conglomerate, Alphabet Inc, which is the owner of Google and a lot of other companies which use your data for their and related advertisings. They control almost everything in the web.
For example
Well, here in Spain it goes somewhat better as in Germany, because our Gov is way more prepared and intelligent as the German “Ampel”, it’s red-red, our “FDP” Ciudadanos, since years is out of the parliament.
The worse, it does not only using Google Apps or Services, but more than the half of existing webpages use one or another Google API (at least googleanalytigs and google-tagmanager.which log and spy the visitors and users.
Hard, very hard to avoid it, Googles eyes are everywhere, even in FOSS.
an idiot criminal, with more than 30 convictions + a conceited selfish subnormal billionaire at his side, what could go wrong?
This and last years maybe the best for the rest of your life.
Whoogle also use the Google search API, like Startpage. But Whoogle is FOSS, you can selfhost it, or use one of it’s open instances. But this you must see by yoursel which works best for you.
For other search engines, you can look in the Vivaldi Forum, there is maybe the most complete list of search engines you can find, complete with insert code, made by an user

I celebrate always the Birthday of Newton
I use Andi as main search by default, but naturally I use also others, eg. Startpage for images, also Mojeek among others, apart some specific ones for Forums, Pixabay, Wikies, etc… I always find what I search
I use Andi since almost 2 years now as main search, it was the first AI search ever, long before all other introduce it. It’s from a small Startup of 2 Devs, which also hate Google and the surveillance crap used by it and other Big Brother companies. Centering the LLM less in the capability to be a Chatbot like others, but be able for a good summarize and explain the articles from reliable sources. It don’t invent nothing when it don’t find the answer, in this case it offers a traditional websearch.
On mobile I use Vivaldi, it’s a good privacy browser (0 trackers), a lot of features similar to the Desktop Browser, inbuild ad/trackerblocker and sync e2ee with the Desktop version.
