Your post title is COMPLETELY different to what the article says.

The article title is "Google to overhaul ad tracking on Android phones used by billions". Overhauling - not removing.

 

When you buy something online, you obviously need to give your card details, which are tied to you. Virtual cards solve that, but, in the UK (and I think most places) you also need to provide a billing address. I don't think virtual card providers give you a masked billing address and I doubt you will be able to use a PO box with most banks to try and prevent fraud. Because of this, can online purchases still be linked to you even with virtual cards?

 

I doubt there is as its quite specific but I want an Android app that works similarly to the shorts tab in the official YT app but without all the trackers, ads, algorithms, etc.

Kinda like NewPipe, but with a nicer way of browsing shorts. There is YT Vanced but I don't know if that removes YouTube/Google's trackers or not.

If anyone can help that would be awesome!

I like Brave with DDG as it is relatively simple and doesn't break loads of sites. I also use the uMatrix extension to block 3rd party JS, this means most sites work fine with their own JS but any other JS is blocked by default.

No, VeraCrypt only offers full-disk encryption on Windows

Currently, it is a higher priority. But I don't think it should be. Or rather, the ways they attempt to ensure the nation's security should change.

Countries don't need a military or at least not such a developed military. Likewise, the surveillance isn't a great idea and has many problems, I would argue more problems than benefits.

Edit: I also don't know how firing loads of missiles and driving massive tanks can be "net-zero". Without offsets of course

Agreed, their website could be better. I had to go to Linktree to find out what they both do

100% agree with this. I love crypto, but proof of work isn't the way to go.

I would say ZorinOS

Tesla will tell you to pay attention, the driver is always at fault. Tesla's system is law-abiding and the law says the driver of the car is responsible, even if they technically aren't driving.

Short answer: probably.

Long answer: Its hard to tell. Their privacy policy doesn't really mention it, however it does say they store some "biometric" data, not a clue what it refers to though. This data could be leaked in some form of data breach. I would recommend emailing them ([email protected]) as they may be able to help more.

Awesome site! I think it will be very useful for beginners to go through at their own pace and help them understand what each suggestion will won't do.
