        You can remove Google from your life today without missing a thing. Unlike Facebook and Twitter, none of their products are unique.

        Tell your local schools not to buy Google spyware in the form of Google Chromebooks – boycott Google for Education. #GoodbyeGoogle

        Stop congratulating your friends when they get a job at Google or when Google buys their startup. Stop normalising surveillance capitalism.

        @TheNewLou uhh, dude. Google pays for each click. This plugin literally steals money from Google. How COULD they possibly host it?

        exactly, plus I'm pretty sure AdNauseam violated Google's TOS. Privacy education should start with honesty.
