#bankruptgoogle otherwise no one will be able to use anything at all. With idiots adapting this nonsense and closing out #openweb it will soon be useless. With #recaptcha nonsense the #googlecrap is expanding. Do not let it become a zombie web designed by the likes of #umbrella corporation of #residentevil.

Just saw this from a fellow #fossuser #freedomatrisk
I have been using an offline translator from F-Droid repository. One of the newly updated mobile banking App (Canara Bank) denied login saying that Slideloaded application "Translator" is unauthorized and risky. Forcing to uninstall that App to continue Mobile Banking!!

Is this related to Google's devil move of not allowing any apps out of Play Store?

Have requested for an image if can be presented now. This reminds me of my case with #hsbc app.

"OK - I understand that you carefully went through life and de-Googled, ponied up all your money for Proton, run Arch Linux, etc. etc."

Didn't really #deGoogle my life. I use a #Samsung device with the default OS on it, so...
I don't pay for #Proton
FYI, #Linux is not bad at all.

#Don't believe I'm like the ones on #PrivacyGuides and the likes. No, I try (and often find) a balance between #privacy, #security and #usability.
I am not that kind of extreme guy who doesn't even want to hear about #GoogleCrap, #MicrosoftCrap, #MetaCrap and the others.

#VivaldiBrowser Has a good #privacypolicy, is #European, and is 95% #FOSS. It removes the #googlecrap from the #Chromium code before using it in their #browser
Also, it lets adding blocking sources and tweaking them, which is a must-have since their ad blocking is no the greatest, THB.

It has an overall good balance between privacy and functionality, and this is why I believe it should be added in the list.
