audible feedback on just how much your browsing feeds into google - GitHub - berthubert/googerteller: audible feedback on just how much your browsing feeds into google

A cool software for degooglers that makes a little noise every time your computer sends a packet to a tracker or Google service.

EDIT: There is also a Firefox add-on for web browsing.

    Damn, just used the real googerteller.

    1. Install gcc git cmake
    2. Clone the repo with git
    3. cmake . and make
    4. sudo tcpdump -nql | ./teller

    I ran “degoogled” Chromium, but just with some policies, the Fedora version.

    • Pings to Google when I open the “select account” page
    • when viewing the password manager entries
    • when opening an Addons dropdown menu?? Ublock Origin?
    • when creating a new user, when deleting it
    • when using Signal desktop, every second

    Brave:

    • not in the profile selection
    • when loading the installed addons, a looot

    Omg

      I also ran it while browsing with ungoogled-chromiun in Debian with ublock origin in “strick mode” and there wasn’t a single sound. I didn’t try your tests but I have a lot of google domains that I added over the years in the uBO rules to block them, like googleapis and stuff like that.
