Is anyone else concerned about Google? It feels like they're about to take over the world.

AM PRANGER DER EWIGEN SCHULD IM BETROFFENHEITSWAHN
I use maps, have a few g-mails accounts that aren't personal, have the jewtube, use the botnet, and have a drive account that I rarely use. Truth be told, that's a lot of shit, but their maps are great, g-mail can fuck itself, can't help it with the tube, there's always chromium and firefox, and don't really use drive.
>>43751959
I'm fucking concerned about Google and all the shit they're sticking their fingers into (Robotics, AI, Social Media, Video Hosting, Video Streaming, Search Engine, Browser Engine, Smart Phone OS, Programming Language, Driverless cars, Google Glass, Space elevators and more)

Are you a robot or something? That is so irreverent its not even funny.
I had no idea Chrome had become so prevalent.
I use Chrome still. I don't give a shit about muh botnet, etc. I stopped using firefox back in 2011 after dealing with freezing issues that wouldn't go away. I've tried to transition back to Firefox several times, but it lacks several built-in features that just aren't replicated well with add-ons, such as google translate, reverse image search, etc.
Chrome is just in general faster as well from my experience, has a better layout, looks better on higher resolutions, and the address bar / tabs / bookmarks take up far less space than they do in Firefox.
I'll admit that firefox is definitely the better option is you want to browse completely undetected, but even then it just becomes an annoyance rather than a benefit (especially if you REALLY don't want to leave a trace...).
Only extensions I have installed on chrome are a video downloader and adblock.
>>43751983
What do you think? Think about all of the browsers there are...
IE
Opera
Netscape
Firefox
Chrome
Chromium
And what else? I can hardly think of any.
Let's look at which one of these is open source and is made by a reliable and trusted source that isn't known to steal people information.
Firefox
Chromium
There's your answer.
Now Adblock, Noscript, Cookie Monster, Blender, Request Policy, HTTPS Always, Better Privacy, and Smart Referrer
Why not finish that off by using a decent operating system like GNU/Linux and stop using untrusted proprietary software?
Why not be connected to Tor, Freenet, or a private VPN with no logs?
Why not stop browsing the Internet for a living and only going on trusted sites that don't spy on you? (Protip: Not 4chan)
It's that simple.
>>43753071
It's only prevalent because of Android

They control too much.
Honestly, I feel the governments of the world should break google up. It goes against all my economic beliefs, but this one company has transcended reasonable control in a very overt fashion. The obvious problem is that if a breakup attempt fails, it would embolden google to push for further control.
>>43751959

Chrome is bundled with a lot of crapware installs
You know the installers that put toolbars, etc, on a system if you aren't careful to perform mental gymnastics to get through their UI?
Chrome is often distributed in that way.

So I've been able to break from every part of google, except for posting on 4chanz and using youtube.
Do you guys ever think youtube will be replaced by another site? The only two that are worth their salt right now are vimeo and dailymotion, but I can't see youtube going away anytime soon
I wish YT never decided to go full sell-out, but I guess i would have done the same in the shoes of the guy who was in charge - who wouldn't want early retirement?
>>43753420
You can use youtube-dl. It's what I use when I have to pull down something. You can also host and share mp4s or webms yourself. You have so many tools, anon. Gather your friends and make use of what you have. We are in hard times.
>>43753466
I've just been using flashgot for everything due to not having encountered a single site where it doesn't work
I guess I should try and grab some videos before YT gets even worse though
Use mediagoblin for videos, set up a server if you have the resources
Also, use mediacru.sh for images and gifs instead of imgur or gfycat etc

Not even in the same category. If someone were to use your personal info to their advantages, you could sue for bank fraud, identity theft, etc. Even if you didn't sue, people would slowly stop using Google products when the news broke and they'd lose revenue. If they really were to use this information in a malicious manner, they would probably use it on someone worthwhile. Not neckbeard permavirgins with 50 dollars in their bank account and no credentials behind their name. The shit here might be overwhelming, yes, but you don't need to be paranoid about it. The only reason you would be paranoid is if you were a pedophile.
So you can stop spamming the curtain argument and just blatantly say that you are a pedophile. It's laughable, you and us all know the reason. Stop kidding yourself.
Huh? I thought IE still had overwhelming marketshare almost everywhere? Or does this exclude company computers?

You download "Trustworthy Free antivirus 10 not-a-virus edition" from an untrustworthy site

The American government, no.
But take China: they block (or slow down) google because they don't want to give away their population's data for free to an American company. To be hones, I am really impressed by their farsightedness and hope they will succeed to create a real alternative.
Having said that, google's success is based entirely on the laziness of internet users. All they provide can be found elsewhere but with a little bit more inconvenience.

Glorious German Firefox Master Race reporting in
>>43751959
Chrome actually has certificate pinning, sandboxing, and a huge security team dedicated to finding exploits and fixing them.
Mozilla doesn't have any of that, and their security team is likely much smaller than Google's.
The world is better off if everyone is using a more secure browser. Your friends are less likely to get malware, and therefore your communications with them are less likely to be intercepted or insecure.
Everybody benefits from better security. Firefox's low marketshare isn't the problem, Firefox's aging codebase and lackluster security are the problems, which Mozilla is taking way too long to address.
Example:
e10s (process-per-tab) is going to come in February 2015. Sandboxing will likely take longer. Chrome has been sandboxed since 2008. If you're using Firefox, you're vulnerable, simple as that. And that's coming from someone who loves Firefox, and wouldn't hesitate to switch if they weren't so far behind Chrome. Just get over yourselves.

No. They have no guns, no private army, and control no essential resources.
Monsanto controls our food and does have a private army.
Microsoft has a backdoor to 90% of desktop computers and a handful of servers. That's not speculation, that's a proven fact.
Facebook has much more knowledge of your personal life than Google. Not only that, it is legally allowed (by the terms of service you agreed upon) to share much of it with anyone.
Oil companies control your fuel (not mine, I run on ethanol, faggots).
All of these companies are more powerful than Google and have a much worse record on ethics, from stealing competitor's technology and spreading misinformation to bribing governments and starting wars.
Meanwhile the most evil thing Google has done was to gather WiFi network names with the Street View cars.

If someone has information, it is only reasonable to make contingencies for when they abuse it.
Google's been kind of a good company so far though.
I can't say where their future lies, but as far as actual actions, they do seem to care about their users more than Microsoft and Apple.
