Should use CDMA, better resistance from jamming

What do you suppose the GPS PRNs are?

(I'll save you a click: They're Gold codes, long pseudorandom sequences with carefully chosen autocorrelation and cross-correlation properties. In CDMA parlance, chipping sequences. The exact same thing.)

It's almost like the designers thought of this.


And Safari with Wipr. uBlock Lite for Safari is in beta too.


What if you lapse domain renewal for some reason and someone buys it? Some serious accident or life event? I do the same but i use icloud as main one.


you can prepay many domains for up to 10 years.


> just a waste of life to spend so much time to de-google, de-openai, de-meta, de-microsoft your life.

Glad you did not include "de-apple". iCloud is now my only email provider, I moved to it many years ago. With my own domain too.


Don't have to de-apple if you never appled.


But you can still search without being logged in on Google, privacy wise it is better. All my browsing is in Private tabs with iCloud Private Relay on.


> GitHub and Cloudflare can do these things at any moment

I hosted mine in AWS S3 with CloudFront for Https and custom domain. Using Hugo too. I wrote Cloudformation template for whole setup [0], just create the CFN stack using template in AWS. Then copy public html to S3 using "aws s3 sync" and done!

> what is the business model that will sustain [Chrome] development

Separate Search + Google Ads platform as company A, Android + Chrome + Gmail as company B.

It will choke the user-data flow that Google Ads platform is feeding on. This opens doors to new competing search engines!

Android + Chrome + Gmail needs to be bundled with hardware purchases, licensed by HW vendors. Like Apple does with Safari + iCloud. This will create incentive to make them actually privacy focused, and could be its selling point.


> Keep Google Chrome. Separate search. Sell it to private equity.

This. If Search + Google Ads is independent from Android + Chrome + Gmail, it will choke the user-data flow that Google Ads platform is feeding on. This opens doors to new competing search engines!

Android + Chrome + Gmail needs to be bundled with hardware purchases, like Apple does with Safari + iCloud. This will create incentive to make them actually privacy focused, and could be its selling point. No need to feed Google Ads with data anymore!

Yeah, dreaming.


The doubleclick network would still belong to google. Only search would be kept separate.


I'm not sure what exactly Doubleclick network is, but my proposal is - Google keeps Search + all Ads related stuff, including whatever doubleclick is.

What Google loses is everything client (user) side: Chrome, Android, Gmail and other personal cloud services. Lets call it Foogle :)

Foogle can charge Samsung et al. for its Android and personal cloud services it is running. And use it in its own Pixel devices too. And may elect to make it hard for Google to sniff it, like droppung doobleclick cookies in Foogle Chrome, provide "Foogle Private Relay", et cetera.


You are proposing Chrome+ Everything Else. DOJ doesn't want the Chrome+Search entanglement. So the company getting rid of search would be an alternative idea. Search would still have the adwords revenue model. But it would be separated from the google ad network which is adsense and doubleclick. All your data on Chrome/Android would still be accessible to Doubleclick and Google for personalized ad revenue.


Please don't lump Safari with the rest of them, drunk on ad-based revenue.
