NO GOOGLE TRACK - CODEBERG

2026-05-12 15:38 UTC

Peace and data security be upon you all. This is my German-language site on Codeberg: https://aurora-shine.codeberg.page/no-google-track/ It covers Google’s abuse of power, Project Nimbus, and more. I also list alternative browsers and search engines, complete with pros and cons. I show you how to block Google services using uBlock Origin and strengthen your browser using the hidden about:config menu. The entire text is in German, but I hope automatic browser translation works well enough for you to understand. If you have questions, feel free to message me.

    Link for people on mobile: aurora-shine.codeberg.page/no-google-track/ I didn’t read it all, but am kinda surprised about the fingerprinting explanation. For me its the combination of all individual characteristics of your browser. What’s the canvas graphic thing (item 2) you are explaining here? aurora-shine.codeberg.page/…/about-config.html

  • Hi, nice and interesting website. While reading through the first bit, I noticed that you regularly criticize the Israel conflicts and I just can’t shake the idea that it would be kind of difficult to maintain the content when the situation in the conflict zones might somewhat change/shift. I share the critics and want solely point out that the information on privacy/security hardening will most likely be relevant long term while the conflicts will just end hopefully ‘soon’. Let me know if I shall elaborate. Check out mullvad browser and their VPN. Also who historicaly build it. Tor browser had a huge vulnerability for nearly a year and the intelligence agencies and other shady entities IDed a bunch of people (also political activists). I read about the webRTC setting, which is important and can leak DNS even when using VPN. AFAIK, when enabled, it can also enable torrent streams which can pose legal problems for the users, who think they use some random streaming page. Did you suggest any VPN besides Tor? You watch (1440p?) youtube how exactly and how slow is it? Because I find it difficult to let go of YouTube but I hate alphabet/meta. Did you mention browser agents and window size? We can randomize some settings to be less recognizable. I find it difficult to navigate the content, so my suggestion is for example to add collapsible footer links at the bottom and maybe a search. Did you suggest an own DNS resolver/filter like pihole/adguard? You mentioned fairphone. Do you know about grapheneOS? This is the end game of deggoogled phones. Right now it is only compatible with Google Pixel Phones, solely because they are the only ones having the granularity of control over the hardware. (Chipset makers need to deliver drivers with adequate access/control over it). This will change soon as Motorola will release compatible phones soon to meet the grapheneOS specs. F-droid is difficult. I know the focus here is privacy, but the APK signatures of the devs get over-written by F-droid. privsec.dev/posts/…/f-droid-security-issues/ So what grapheneOS users like me usually do is use the app obtainium and preferably import from github and cross-reference the signature directly. So you access the apps directly from source. I also like this site: www.privacytools.io

  • Please don’t take this the wrong way. Just a little food for thought. Please stop using the term “junkies.” Junkies (derived from “junk”) is a pretty dehumanizing and derogatory term for people suffering from a serious addiction.

  • As a side note, I’ve grown increasingly disappointed with fairphone. I recebtly switched to shiftphone, which also supports degoogled ROMs, and offers the same repairability. I think shift is much more aligned with the values fairphone claims to represent.

    I love that you explicitly call out how Google helps maintain and expand the zionist project in Palestine. We need more of this. I disagree on two points slightly: Digitaler Boykott ist zwar eines unserer stärksten Waffen, doch Googles vollständiger Bankrott, würde nur dann eintreffen, wenn jeder Mensch beschließen würde, alles von denen zu boykottieren. For us who are unable to get weapons true, but otherwise weapons are the strongest weapons. Iran demonstrated very well that these AI data centers are quite bombable. “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun” as the revolutionaries in china learned bitterly after the White Terror. Es geht also nicht nur ums Geld, oder um einen Krieg. Es geht um die Verwirklichung einer zionistisch-messianischen Vision The zionist project is about making money for the western rich class, the reason Google and other companies as well as the US MIC funnel so so much money into it is because they expect something out of it, otherwise they wouldn’t. Profit is the motor of capitalism. The zionist project and the wars around it are to maintain western dominance in west asia and keep the routes for resource extraction open.
