Pons_Aelius,

Here is what you need to know:

Stop using chrome.

LineNoise,

Stop using Google services and products in general ideally. They've become a fundamental threat to a functional web.

Pons_Aelius,

One step at a time.

wandermind,

The only Google feature I haven’t found a passable alternative for is location history.

As far as I can see you can easily disable this in the settings? Or am I missing something?

kratoz29,

For now.

The only thing you’re missing is that there’s no guarantee that the setting does anything

I had a firefox extension that randomly surfed around the web, making a complete pile of unrelated garbage out of one's browsing history, for circumstances like this.

I remember that! It clicked every single link on every website you used to muddy up your personal data.

I would run it when I was AFK, cuz it was so annoying to see all the trash created. And stopped using it pretty quickly.

yoz,

Hope this adware exploits the fuck outta chrome fanbois ❤️

You can download ungoogled chromium builds here, but using Firefox is much smarter.

bedrooms,

Wasn't it also baked in Chromium? I thought there was a derived browser that disabled this feature in Chromium.
