google in general is gonna get looked at sideways from a leftist perspective.
Like fakename_bill said they track everything you do when you're using their services. they store and sell/profit off that info. They also have ties to the CIA and have contracts with them as well as donate a lot of money to shit politicians and other political movements (this last one is par for the course for pretty much any corporation but it still sucks)
I use firefox with a lot of modifications from privacytools.io incl containers. I use some google services for work but they live in their own containers where all they have access to is my gmail and any general browsing I do is in it's own container away from any of my accounts..
Not so much that you need to boycott. Go ahead and use it if you want. It just runs slowly and sends a ton of data to Google for tracking purposes. If you're at all privacy-conscious, perhaps reconsider using chrome.
Anything but Chrome
oh no! What's wrong with Chrome! It seems to be universally slammed on here!
Let me know why I should boycott!
