I set up a Raspberry Pi 3 with AdguardHome for a friend of mine, and told him to disconnect everything at home and try to watch anything on his phone, being the only device using his home's internet.
He just sent me this, and now he's ready to #degoogle 🤣🤣🤣
He says there were hundreds in less than 5 minutes.
You make a good point. I will try to start commenting and posting with more context moving forward. The fact remains that, as long as we're using addresses not controlled by us (namely not self-hosted) we need to decide how much we trust any address and server we interact with. Maybe because of Google's size and noise, I am completely against them, the same as I'm against Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Twitter, Amazon and a whole suite of others.
Agreed! Personally, my willingness to trust a service is generally a function of the utility I get from the service. My data has value, but I certainly wouldn't consider it priceless!
