I completely block all Google access via DNS blocklists (I realize it’s not 100% bulletproof as you could get around the block by just knowing the IP address). Because their tracking is including in basically every app and website I think this is the only effective way to stop tracking.
Using a VPN might make you more anonymous in other ways, but that alone isn’t going to stop anything from building a profile on you.
Yeah right? I have a VPN to prevent Google (amongst many others) from having too much of my data.
Googles can have a little bit of my data, as a treat
Other than source IP address, I don’t see how does that prevent Google from having your data.
