Does Fedora share my personal information with Google (already)?
Many people come to Fedora to escape data collection and commercialization. Windows 10 is a professional collection platform with a cartoonish interface full of ways to buy things.
Fedora is not that way at all. Question: has Google already found a way to collect on Fedora users from the OS or from the browser? And does the Fedora company sell my information?
I know that Fedora 28 has third-party apps. I hope that I have not sacrificed my privacy by allowing them. Whatever else I do, it won't be using Chrome.
Third question: is Google already collecting on me when I authorize third-party apps in general without downloading Chrome?
Thank you
do you use gmail? if so, then you do agree to certain sharing, specifically as related to the email address you have, but as far as I know, Fedora does NOT share anything unless directed by you to do so.
No, I do not have gmail. Thanks for your answer!
One thing you can do is change your search page to Startpage instead of Google. Startpage is an independent proxy for Google that doesn't log your IP address or searches, preventing them from selling information about your searches or filling up the results pages with targeted advertisements. If you're using Firefox, it's available from the searchbar.
@sideburns Thanks!
