Harrooo! Here's on for the tin-foil hat crowd and the Android experts.
With the new Google privacy policy coming up: what steps can we, the users, take to avoid as much data mining as possible? I have already made some changes to my settings and switched some apps. But I would be interested to know if I have missed anything or if it is usefull at all.
And perhaps this is useful to other users who feel the same.
-Stopped syncing to the Google servers.
-Use Boat Browser instead of stock, private browsing enabled
-Use Duckduckgo instead of Google search.
-Opted out of everything I could opt out of in my Google account.
-Jorte Calender instead of stock calender (it is prettier too!)
-I have also got rid of the Facebook and Twitter apps as they were way too greedy for permissions for my taste and use the mobile websites instead. They offer the same and sometimes more functionality and I can live without directly uploading a picture to Facebook from my galery.
Does anyone have more tips on how to make using your Android more private?
Cheers!
