    Why not? There are a lot of things that can help people to give less data to Google: ad blocker, Firefox, Firefox with Google container, avoid using Gmail, avoid using YouTube…

        Apart from the Firefox Google container (that’s available only on PC), all the rest can be achieve everywhere.

        Edit: I use Android, I just suppose that an AdBlocker can be used on iOS.

          Google still has access to info on iOS. You pretty much have to use a TOR browser if you want to avoid Google even in iOS, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve found a way in through that.

      You can plug all those holes, but your data is still leaking. And wait until Googles new Web Integrity API is implemented. They have a thousand tentacles that are grabbing data. You can cut off a hundred of them, but it really doesn’t make a difference.

        But let’s be practical: if I use th Firefox Google container and all the link I open are just the website I want ro visit, if I’m not logged in any Google service, how can Google monitor me on my PC?

        P.s. I also use (along with other) the Cookie Auto Delete plugin.
