I made https://forwardemail.net as an alternative to having to sign up for Google Business (since they no longer offer the free plan).
Nice, does this work with Outlook?

So much better than Google Business ever was!

#214If you want to keep using Google services, here are some Google Alternatives Alternatives: 1/ Google Search, YouTube, Maps: visit https://myactivity.google.com/activitycontrols to turn on auto-deletion or turn off search history, location history or YouTube watch history. This page also allows you to turn off ads personalization. There are many security and privacy controls on https://myaccount.google.com/ , turn the…
Are you willing to comment on any theoretically security-threatening features you see in ungoogled-chromium in the case that one's threat model is Google itself?

It really is turned off. Companies like Google get huge fines when they break their promise -- even accidentally.
> Companies like Google get huge fines when they break their promise -- even accidentally. Source? Facebook has used phone numbers given exclusively for 2FA purposes for targeted advertising and got away with merely a slap on the wrist considering their revenue.

#216I'm actually confused if this site was created ironically. * "Google search is malicious, send the same data to Russia with Yandex instead." * Apparently Google Chrome is a search engine. * "Google doesn’t care about users’ privacy that much. It collects your data and uses it for their own purposes." Might just be me, but this reads like a throwaway essay written by an 8th grader. * The site uses Google Analytics. De…
Everyone should flag it. A brand new user submitted it. It's spam trying to drive traffic to a VPN review site.

#218I've tried really hard to not use google for search. But DDG is bad. I have it set as my default search. I find myself either: 1) trying duck duck go and then immediately re-searching in google to actually get relevant answers. 2) skipping the search bar and going immediately to google when I know DDG just isn't going to work. Feels like back in the olden days when you had to try Altavista, Lycos and Yahoo to find wh…
Duckduckgo id basically anonymized bing. I'm a little bit surprised that http://startpage.com isn't on the list, it's anonymized google in the same way ddg is anonymized bing.
I really like Bing these days. Google has sanitized it's results so much that anything interesting is gone. Things off the top of my head: finding technical docs via searhing pds, "Index Of" listings, adult content (not even meaning porn, per se) - NSFW forums to come to mind (just look at how many subreddits are set to nsfw now), forums, etc etc

#219There's also Google pools/proxies. https://searx.me/ works pretty well and has public instances.

In what way does google invade your privacy that has made you worse off?
>In what way does google invade your privacy that has made you worse off? This made me laugh. Let's talk about an example. Imagine the nicest house with all of the features possible. You get to live in the house and enjoy all benefits at not cost whatsoever. Only catch would be that the house would be made of transparent glass and everyone outside gets to see what you are doing at all times. Would you still choose to…
Do you know my google search history?
