I don't have chrome, I have chromium but I don't let the agent/daemon run, and my mic has a physical on-off switch and I keep it off
I'm good
well, better off than most
I don't even have chrome I use firefox and a very old version at that patched by friends
so how do you think google knows what you want to search based on what you are watching?
for example
it does?
They could pull that from cookies or from typed characters all types of bots allow them to do that that's not the problem the problem is them listening to you using your mic without your knowledge even when you're not using their service
i could be watching a sargon video, and he will mention something very specific, so i go to search for it, and i just type one letter into the bar, and google gives me the result
adnauseum for firefox is one suggestion from me
@Deleted User I've never had that happen
I mean for fuck sake even Facebook doesn't do that shit
hmm
but maybe I just didn't notice
or mabe becuase I use stuff like adnauseum
i've noticed it many times over the past couple of years
I'll look out for that, I may have just not noticed
I don't get ads so I'd never notice but it's just crazy to find out
The wiretapping might be Windows though. People found out, and MS admitted, they collect "telemetry data" even when you enable all privacy.
22+year Linux user so 🤷
not sure about this
rpm master race
generally the only ads I get will be of products I've already visited
I'm a Debian kind of guy actually
Ubuntu/Debian
Fuck the .deb plebs!

@Ƶero Debian is worse than Windows.

YOU USE THE WRONG DISTRO!

*this*
was in my youtube ad section for days
after I visited the website to see if the meme picture I saw was true
wait a minute
that's hilarious, but it'd be funnier if you don't have a dog
ahhhhhhh shit
