For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

        That’s funny. Every time somebody says “If you have nothing to hide, what are you worried about,” I reply, “Do you shit with the door open?”

        But now the door isn’t just open. It feels like Uncle Sam is pissing between your legs.

            Yeah anyone thinking it’s only the government spying is revealing their age and/or their biases.

            Uncle Sam doesn’t even need to spy. They just get the data from the corporation that spies on us now for their own reasons.

            Both are a problem.

        I switched to duck duck go who knows how many years ago. Haven’t looked back.

        Can’t even remember when I started using Firefox, but that was probably around the time when Opera became popular. Before Crome existed, I was already on FF and never regretted staying there. At that point, I was already somewhat aware of privacy matters, so switching to Chrome seemed completely stupid to me.
