How does one stop google?
| You embrace it
| >>314316
You're right, just "open software" is not enough. It needs "free software" (free as in freedom) to beat entities like google.
| Wait for the advertising bubble to burst.
| duck duck go
| Bing
| By not using it you faggot
Don't use android
And change default email and search to other companies
| >>314365
That's right. Especially when the software is licensed under GPL3 and AGPL. Corporations hate those licenses because they guarantee freedom to users.
Also just don't use google services. And stop fucking using "googling" as a synonym to "web searching".
| >>314725 Mainly this, but that might not sufice, as common users never ever will care about Google's bussiness as long as they have their commodities.
Maybe you could create an amazing algorithm to hack all gmail users, or to free all the info stored by Google about its users, that at least would make some people reconsider the value of their freedom... probably...
| create own search engine xd
naah.. Maybe Bing, DuckDuckGo,Yahoo.. its not more ways here
| >>314725
Actually it's possible and easy to use android without google. Just flash a free rom and don't install gapps.

Pretty much websites have their own search engines. On my desktop I added about 50 to my browser (waterfox) and sorted them with the awesome."organize-search-engines" addon (available on github) Combined with the "context-search" addon it's a killer combination, I wonder why it doesn't became standard.
| You don't.
| Drive to CA, set up Iran-style car bombs at their HQ.
*Consult your attorney before committing multiple felonies
| I think OP is trying to ask how to stop a mega botnet from growing instead of using different search engines as nothing would change
| Maybe if all the people in the world search for stuff at the same time the botnet will collapse and we'll be free again!
| DuckDuckGo is an illusion, as is every private browser, as long as you're on the internet - (tinfoil hat time) they always know what you're looking up.
| I bow down to my Google overlords
| Turn around, pull down your pantsu, and let daddy google fuck you hard in that boipucci
| >>317608
Actually I use duckduck go because of the quality of results. Google has somehow a strange behaviour.
I know that privacy is only a promise from them, but at least they give it, in comparison to google.
| and.. what eat google? Eated google = No problem google ^^
| You can't stop Google.
| >>314898
don't use bing or yahoo, it's not because google is big right now that you should make another company bigger. searX.org works pretty well and is free. If you are courageous, you can use YaCy, it's free and decentralised(you can use your computer to contribute to the computation.).

| I screwed it up!
| >>317608
Well maybe so, but they no longer shove poorly targeted ads down my throat
I could care less even if google leaks info to governments, if you become important enough for investigation they'll just arrest you and look through your pc anyway
| >>323081
It's alright as long as you concede that GNU is the free operating system and Linux is merely one of its kernels.
| Duckduckgo
| Block it in your country and create shitty Baidu
| Should I ignore youtube?
| >>325311
Well once YouTube was something new, experimental and interesting. Now it is just a boring, total commercialized mainstream bullshit like private "free"-TV. "Broadcast yourself" is out. Now it is just "prostitute yourself".
| DDOS the fuck out of them
| >>326016
There's still a lot of usefull tutorials and videos which doesn't include attention whoring bloggers
| >>326159
It died for me, whe they disabled the possibility to subscribe without an account via RSS.
| DDoS Google is like try play GTA 329 on computer from 90's
| Hah.
| You know, I think it's reverse DDoS if you try to attack more bandwidth than you can handle... I would think there is more raw bandwidth available to google than there is available anywhere in their reach... Or Google would get huge trouble from the actual fuckton of requests its search engine processes (idk about caching... not sure if it directly affects incoming traffic...)
| Actually, no maybe I'm dumb and it's feasible...
| You can DDOS Google by searching stuff on Google.com
| >>332696 you can't unless they have a bug in the search engine whivh is unlikely or will get fixed really fast
| Block their shit and cut the cord.
| >>314316
Short term: use user-respecting software, Free software. (check fsf.org) Freedom doesn't always come with convienience, be prepared. (so that Google and other botnets won't profit from your data.)
Long term - support organizations that protect everybody's digital rights, like EFF. (so that NSA botnet won't grow as big.)
| >>334263
I think people should have the freedom to give up their freedom for the sake of convenience.
BUT the issue here is by establishing non-free standards they also take away the freedom from others.
| >>317608
If you are targeted by an intelligence agency, you're obviously not going to win. However, if ''they'' are the only people who can gather info on you, then I think you're pretty well off all things considered.
| Get creampied by a Google Studbot™. Gurls it feels so good embracing the botnet!!!
| Stop using the Internet
