@nixCraft Things you can do to (I think) make Google's job harder beyond switch to Firefox:
- uBlock (of course)
- Noscript
- Privacy Badger
- DNS ad blocking
- Don't log in to your google acct other than to pull mail. Sign out for general Youtube usage or a private window seems to isolate between signins.
- Have Firefox purge all cookies and cache on close. For extra fun, close the browser when logging out of gmail.
- Firefox Containers (been informed about this one, but seems legit.)
@hexxy_the_grouch Firefox Containers are a godsend, I can vouch for them. I have one container for Google services I still use from time to time (mainly YT) and they never see any other usage from me. I do the same with Microsoft and Meta. The other solutions you mention do the rest of the hard work.
