STAY ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ANONYMOUS ON GOOGLE
Google is notorious for its ravenous appetite for our personal information, and yet its tools are too good, too easy to use and – let’s face it – too free for us to boycott them all on privacy grounds. But if you’ve ever felt uneasy when searching for something unusual on Google, watching a risqué video on YouTube or syncing your data in Chrome, you’ll know that the one thing Google won’t offer its users is anonymity – nor is it ever likely to. Google’s business model is almost entirely based on targeting us with search results, adverts, recommendations and other data from its partners, which it believes to be relevant to our interests. If we stop sharing our personal data, we’re not much use to Google, but Google can still be very useful to us.
In this cover feature, we explain how to keep using some of Google’s most popular tools while preserving your privacy, from searching without
being tracked to viewing YouTube videos without ads and switching to more secure versions of Chrome and Android.
