Forget Chrome--Google Starts Tracking All Your Devices In 8 Weeks

[hunter]

5. Are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, etc., any less toxic?

I'm a Linux guy, wary of them all.

My simple cellphone flips open like a Star Trek communicator. I mostly use it as a phone. It doesn't do email and I don't browse the web on its tiny screen. My Chromebook is also a world unto itself. So is my television, which only plays DVDs and Netflix. My devices don't talk to one another, my profiles don't follow me.

The internet landscape I experience hasn't changed much in thirty years. As some kind of Luddite I actively block the rest of it as best I can.

What wonders of modern technology am I missing? Anything worth giving up even more of my privacy for?
