You can't get away from google. Their code runs on every website.

I am too confused on what to do with this.

I use stock android samsung phone with no account logged in, so I feel okay in regards to that, but what bothers me is my main and only email account is Gmail.

I use it for my banking, I dont use it for school because I have a separate .edu account, but I did apply to school with it, ebay, and all online shopping. Basically, all my personal information is on that account. The email itself has a fake name and info of course, but the accounts lined to it don't.

What else can I use though?
I picked Gmail because I feel it is the most reliant, secure, and least likely to be hacked - on the flip side of that coin, I'm voluntarily surrendering my rights.

I have the gmail app on my android signed in. Chances are my privacy is not secure but I have no way of knowing for sure.

It takes search results from google that's why it's awesome.

Doesn't do much against browser fingerprinting, which google is known to do.

>>55442720
That is even worse than me, because Google tracks your location via the phone, then it gradually builds up a map of you based on your frequent locations.

I'm not making that up.

>>55442667
Use cock.li and PGP or something.

>>55442745
I'm aware

Guess I should sign out
