Blocked Google - *Uploads on YT*
Failed attempt. So she still using Google.
@@LYNX-jg2po ha ha
it's a corporate account and not her personal account so she might get off on a technicality
Sus
So trying to help others thinking of freeing themselves from Google is a fail? LOL, all righty then NOT
wow she was late for a meeting because she couldn't call an uber and didn't think about calling a yellow taxi....
Nice catch
And it was right in front of her
@@WafflesOinc in the reenactment it was right in front of her. Do you really think a person running late is going to stop to make a video?
@@itsmelaura1533 of course not
There are other mapping sources too
Rename this to "Shilling for big tech is our motto".
Seriously why is this dumpster fire in my recommended?
There are countless free and open source to never go back to google or any mainstream corporations. It is up to the person if they want to have their information manipulated while allowing a tool to be in control of them when it is the tool that is supposed to be used. I left all of those businesses and did not look back. You can easily go to the library if you MUST use apps that you really don’t need.
People need to stop being lazy...go FOSS and carry your data. Choose the path of "most resistance"...to big tech.
@@mikegarwood8680 we need more people on the other video sites - including content creators and also need more people on OSM. Google's CZcams and maps are what I find hardest to give up. Both redit and ruqqus (which is a newer, freer version of reddit) have deGoogle groups. Oh, ANDROID is actually the hardest to give up....forgot about it. You can't install a new OS on just any model of Android. As far as I know, only the more expensive models have been tested and have OS programs made for them.
@@genkiferal7178 Don't buy an android phone. Linux phones are in their infancy right now with Librem 5 and PinePhone. They will progress. More will come.
@@mikegarwood8680 I’m a Linux fan dont get me wrong, but the current Linux phones arent really made the average consumer. I really think right now, grapheneOS, lineageOS, and iodé are the best options out there.
Servant Status Ministries, just out of curiosity - how are you posting on CZcams if you haven't got a google account? Goole owns CZcams as well now.
I may be part of the internet age
But it hurts to see how dependant we are on tech
- Where everyone’s on google docs, I’m taking notes in my book
- Need to get somewhere? Street directory
- A lot of my still super infilled wisdom. Observation and wisdom from older generations
Don’t get me wrong. The internet is lit. I do love it, not lying. But it’s interesting how pervasive it is
Some guys might not realize how scary this is... IF google wants, they can destroy me anyday...
And why would they want to "destro you"?
Kind of ironic that your watching this on CZcams, a Google company right now.
😳
Plus in the video description, using the Google URL shortener: "Subscribe to Gizmodo: goo.gl/YTRLAE"
Notice the G in the upper right corner??
@Viper still Google's service regardless of adblocker or not
@@Mkhl4Sure You can use Google services on a phone that has no service. On a phone with actual service is where Google needs to be erased.
I live Brave. I need google out my life
Late reply, you're still using Google products. Brave is Chromium, and Chromium is owned by Google. Use Firefox.
@@socialix_ no thats very wrong brave is based on chromium but that doesnt mean brave is literally same as chromium they wrote the codes them selves they didnt copy and paste it
@@kevin-hv1se Late reply
Brave is based on chromium and is dependent on google, so any security vulnerability that appears on chromium will also appear on brave. Google could also put in telemetry and make it non-portable essentially hard locking it in
@@NotAPenguinSpy yea about that what I tried to explain was that brave function is like google but google doesn't control it because its chromium based but its true tho that it has same security patches in it
Oh wow, how come you're not big !!!!! Your videos are great! Instant subscribtion. I love your work
well if you want to re-create this same experience just go to china!
Ironic, as Google is helping developing most of China's surveillance technology.
Actually, I don't believe this is a joke. China bans Google as a search engine, and has a modified version of Google earth. So all the technology used in China, does not have label "Google" on it, but it's almost 100% developed by Google.
Is this a google ad?
Your wedding ring is so cute. Love your video. I may pay for VPN because of your video :)
@Eliza Knight , using VPN does not mean you block Google, unless the VPN has a built in tracker and ad protection, instead what I suggest you do is use ublock origin, or adgaurd if you are willing to spend some money, vpn only masks your IP.
Found this from Flipboard. Great content, love it!
I'm loving these videos. I went through a phase of removing all these companies. But I always come back to them for some reason or another, usually business related.
That's either because you work for one of them, in which case you are a sad SJW cultist in need of deprogramming or you're a tinfoil hat-wearing muh-Russia conspiracy theorist who thinks Hillary is your president.
Openstreet map !!!
great to hear.
I think the only reason Google does not ban this video and others alike is that nothing is really said 'how' to remove yourself from Google. There is no real technical detail discussed. And LineageOS can only be installed on a couple of old phones, so they are no real threat to Google. Google will only be threatened once the open-source community develops a platform that is affordable/free and can be understood and installed by most non-technical users.
Amazing
my next up or auto play video is literally Microsoft ..... thanks google chan for saving time lol
2:22 it was at this moment she realized how formidable a task this really was.
For anyone wondering, you cannot just go make a riseup account, you need to be invited by another member, which is odd as I am assuming she does not know many people who use riseup for their email..
@Anthony Rice interesting!
You can install the Noto fonts locally so your system will never need to cache the fonts
How do i block google?
Use other stuff
Microsoft’s stuff is kinda an alternative
use duckgogo or bing
If you have an android phone, you're stuck with google services , although you can use open source apps by installing f-store. Newer Xiaomi phones can restrict permits to apps, and also let you uninstall some, but not the most important ones.
Huawei newer phones don't have google services but you can use the aurora store or the huawei store for alternatives.
There are linux phones that don't have any data collecting apps in them, but these are niche phones, not yet appealing to the masses.
This is awesome journalism. Subscribed!
It's not even journalism; it's a puff piece by some chick that works for Gizmodo that is paid by Google to make the company look good. It's sad.
I use Google as part of my life. What if I'm lost I could use Google maps 😂
A bunch of companies should get together and have their ad be to destroy google. So many would sign up.
Hello, Antena 3 News (Spain TV) request your permission to use this video in our news program today.
Thanks in advance!
2:30 What is this IP blocker that blocks google please? I'm thinking of transitioning myself
there are many ways. you can use something like pihole or a browser addon like ublock origin, umatrix or edit your host file which is a bit hard.
@@botowner8623 yeah use umatrix and rise up
How come there's no comments from a year ago? All blocked?
At least you used google to post this video
She said delete all big tech but t hen move data over to Apple......Weak sauce.
3:36 she is using google chrome
So happy to see a woman who is a tech geek on here as I seek privacy. Thx
I checked out when she installed Apple apps, this is so idiotic...
apple is pretty good for privacy
Google is Basically a GOD now
she did all this for nothing! she still has a friggin iphone, it know where you are 24/7. apple and google track 24/7 via wifi scanning. only way around it is to get a Linux phone, or a de-googled android running an AOSP rom.
so with that said, she didn't accomplish anything lol
also, theres alternatives for any and all google apps, obviously she doesnt know anything about tech
you have the option to disable wifi scanning
@@MarsVlogSoon lol, you think that!
the option for wifi scanning in the settings does NOT turn tracking off. it may disabled it for 3rd party apps, but the wifi scanning ppl are worried about is baked right into android/google, and iphone operating systems.
so like i said, you NEED a linux phone, or a de-googled android running an aosp rom if you dont want to be tracked.
Some people just don't value their privacy
I'm sure she is all over google right now!! Lol..
I'll cut my arm off if this woman used her phone less or allowed this to in any way inconvenience her.
Sorry, but this is a bit inconclusive. Given that Google tracks your IMEI number (number unique for your device, and stores basically all devices you logged in to google with), AND sees also the wifis you connect to, so they can probably still track you as long as you have google installed even if you have vpn.
Sure they probably can, but it's still way less than using the services as if. I used to get personal info about my mental health and other real life information from Google, but I get more or less memes now or funny videos after using Duckduckgo
Because you didn't do it properly.
You hit it right when you said it's all junk. It is as worthless as a pack of cigarettes or junk food.
Everything cost's money. Big Tech giants are there in our lives and we cannot undo it, ranging from Facebook to Google to Amazon. I have heard that Indian companies like Reliance Gio is heavily funded by Facebook and Facebook wants to compete with Amazon in India.
Having to take the bus? Fucking hell, that’s your life over then
I'm at 1:29, paused, to make this prediction. I am going to guess you didn't replace your needs with viable alternatives.
Eh... I'm a bit off. You didnt replace many of the Google assets with anything at all.
Technology didn't make humanity more intelligent. It made us more spoiled, dumb and brainless.
the best way to not use google is using duck duck go
Is safari a part of google??
No, Safari is Apple.
You feel a sense of freedom because you're not constantly being spied on?
You also want to make sure you're not running Android, as it's a Google OS.
Android itself is open-source. It only "belongs" to Google if it's modified to ship with Google services. But it can be used without them.
Can you describe in a slower pace - how to get rid of Google
This is not a tutorial, but something of a basic journalism.
You're doing this while using an apple product
Just got out of the big tech ecosystem, believe me you wont have much problems and litterally no problems in long term.... infact you will enjoy your life...
I use TOR.
How is she cutting big tech companies by using Apple products instead of Google products
Good idea let media go but very far away after the milky way !
You can’t really get Google out of your life if you keep using CZcams. And trust me, I’ve been there several times, there’s no decent replacement for CZcams out there.
LINUX!!
Cute kid and Nice eff sticker.
That's the hustle for using iPhone.
Love it I’m working to cut the crooks out my life . The only thing I will miss is you tube part of google blank them all crooks
brave
Google Evil
lol i only use 1 google thing which is youtube
Pathetic that people “need” Google.
@Alb Don Really how so? Pretty vague statement.
Sponsored by Google
Why is Microsoft worthy of being blocked? I thought they were the only viable alternative (in certain cases) to Google, Amazon, and Apple. Also, aren't they more secure and attentive to privacy than Google/Apple?
Microsoft is worse than all of them. The only things that keep apple back is it's price and eco-system and the only thing that keeps linux back is that there are not a lot of people who use it.
I have been off google tracking for 6 yrs ,,,, still use there apps ...lol your promoting them now.
Llo acerté 5 vingos
Apple Map uses Google Map. Google also help Apple with Apple Photo.
No apple uses TomTom
@@stevebachochin2038 hmm that's interesting. Last time I checked they were using Google maps
you just ain't doing it right
This video is kinda stupid.
Because degoogling yourself will take months to do it the right way.
#stopverticalvideo
ISN'T FIREFOX GOOGLE?
No
Thanks. Why is GOBBLE always trying to get me to download Firefox? I don't trust much anymore Google seems behind almost everything.
Well there the big company that doesn't spy on you as much as some others
Why is Google so bad?
because they sell your data
and see everything you do
Damn, i didn’t know that
@@gerhardthorkildsen-rnvik1513 yeah, I'm trying to get google out of my life with Duckduckgo instead of google search, Firefox instead of Google Chrome, OpenStreetMaps instead of Google Maps and Dropbox instead of Google Drive.
@@Phayssal im trying to do the same. Got firefox, duckduckgo, zoho, ad blocker pro so far.
Apparently though google has paid ad blocker pro to circumvent their wall.
More and more your "videos" are there to prove to us that... WE NEED THE TECH GIANTS TO LIVE 👎🏽 !!!
So, who is paying your salaries at Gizmodo for all this 🧐??? You're on CZcams soooooo, Google !!! Gotcha🤭
Beautifully made, but pointless video.
Not very good at the game Chess either I'm guessing? You need to think in advance, way in advance. This is because the big tech companies already have. NOTHING NOTHING IS FOR FREE
Using Apple Maps is cheating
That video is antisemitic, just like the “no nut November,” movement.
