Why not Google

We agree on the broad strokes, but the reason I choose to minimize Google’s access to me is that my balance of utility versus ethical comfort is different. Both companies do have flaws, but they’re different flaws, and I tolerate them differently:

  • Apple is always arrogant, controlling, and inflexible, and sometimes stingy.
  • Google is always creepy, entitled, and overreaching, and sometimes oblivious.

Exactly why I have been moving way from Google services too. DuckDuckGo instead of Google Search, Safari instead of Chrome, FastMail instead of Gmail.
