    They hate VPNs

    I have no issues with my VPN. Which one do you have? Did you switch servers to see if it fixed the issue? Generally Google gives these prompts when there are many requests from a single IP address. When you have a proper VPN service, all connections will be spread out over many servers so there won’t be a lot of people behind a single IP address, so there won’t be that many requests to Google servers. This will solve the issue. I have Proton VPN, I never have these prompts anymore since I switched to Proton.






  • So what, Google? You violate my privacy, I violate your terms of service, I’d say we’re even.

    I don’t think they can actually have an ad blocker installed on your machine be a violation of their terms of service. It’s on your device. It’s like Ford would say driving one of their models with a green shirt is a violation of their terms of service. What’s next, your camera will be monitored by Google and you violate their terms of service if you turn your head away whenever an ad is playing? Well, yeah, they wanted to pause ads when your eyes would turn away from the screen, so they really are that evil.

    Google was such a nice company at first, now it’s pure evil. Just like all the other mega corps. Open source and Piracy is the future.
