"#Chrome will automatically upgrade all http:// navigations to https://, even when you click on a link that explicitly declares http://"

Today is a good day to run away as far as you can from the #Chrome browser (and anything else from #Google really).

Chrome -> @mozilla #Firefox

Search -> @Mojeek @StartpageSearch or #Duckduckgo

Gmail -> @protonmail #Mailfence or @mailbox_org

Maps -> @organicmaps or #OSMand

Android -> @murena's #eOS or @linegeos@fosstodon.org

Play Store -> @fdroidorg

And for full-blown liberty: @yunohost :)

Fighting for the open web.

#Mozilla has published its position on the "Web Environment Integrity API" proposal put forward by the #Google #Chrome team.

First paragraph: "Mozilla opposes this proposal because it contradicts our principles and vision for the Web."

Repeat a 1,000 times: #Google is an #advertising moloch and #Chrome browser monopolist, NOT your friendly free service provider!

Google is about to smack down on the #OpenWeb, killing it with their so-called "Web Environment Integrity API" #DRM proposal.

"Wanna watch those #Netflix or #Youtube vids? Better have Chrome without #AdBlocker then"

"Here's plenty #ads. Now hand over your #PII so we can grow our #SurveillanceCapitalism empire"

Conoscete Contra Chrome?

Il fumetto, liberamente scaricabile e distribuibile, racconta come #Google #Chrome sia diventato a nostra insaputa uno strumento di sorveglianza. Un lettura che fa ridere e riflettere, informa, apre gli occhi.

Si trova qui:
http://contrachrome.copernicani.it/page01.html

Lo regaliamo stampato bene a chi domani partecipa a depreDATI, laboratorio di autodifesa dalla sorveglianza digitale, con @quinta e il sottoscritto

Per info e prenotazioni: https://depredati.eu

Wow, people are formatting #ContraChrome into little zines and sharing them around their university campuses! 🤩

So nice to see it’s circulating!

(If you want to get in on the fun, you can get all the files to print and modify it yourself here:

Consent-O-Matic is a browser extension that auto-responds to all the #GDPR and similar consent popups with optimal user preferences.

Unlike the extension "I don't care about cookies" which just accepts all cookies, Consent-O-Matic clicks the prompts on your behalf to reject most of the cookies. You can also choose what to accept/reject in the preferences.

Available for Firefox, Chrome and others.

I've been using this on Firefox for quite sometime now and it works great!

Their Github page has links to official extension stores: https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic#introduction

#Google surveillance detector (https://googledetector.org/)
è un'estensione per #Chrome che mostra per ogni pagina web quali servizi di Google raccolgono i nostri dati

Ovviamente i risultati sono impressionanti: più dell'80% delle pagine invia dati a Google

Proprio per questo è uno strumento molto utile per mostrare e dimostrare l'estensione della sorveglianza: quando le cose si vedono, si capiscono
