You can escape the big tech tracking by installing uBlock Origin in your browser, and if you use their services, disabling personalised ads and search/activity history in their accounts.

    escape the big tech tracking by installing uBlock Origin

    Cloudflare and AWS say "Hi" 👋

    UBO is a very good tech that I strongly recommend too though. Just gotta be aware of its limits.

    Cloudflare just checks for bot activity and AWS is just a hosting provider. They don't use data for ads or sell it to anyone.

    The original claim was about tracking ("escape the big tech tracking"), so here AWS and Cloudflare are definitely relevant. The content, including input, also flows through them I think? It's specifically unencrypted if I get it right.
