@helenslunch @akilou sure… and we don’t have to be their customers. Free markets are awesome that way.
@EmperorHenry @streetfestival @Firefox is a horrible browser if you want to block ads and protect your privacy. It’s funded by Google. Try Librewolf instead.

They’ve raked in BILLIONS from Google by selling their customers. In the FOSS world, the customer should be a partner, not the product.
@Scrollone @stifle867 it doesn’t seem very professional or well run. Reminds me a little of Mozilla. Both focus on many thinks and do an average (to bad) job rather than doing fewer things with a focus on excellence.

Many people think of Google as a search company, but its flagship product is actually your identity, courtesy of Gmail. If you use Gmail, you’re always logged in to your Google account, which is how Google can connect your search terms, GPS location, photos, YouTube views, and more to your real-life identity. And every time you sign up for a new service and provide your email address to create an account, Gmail knows about it first.
