Even If You Hate AI, You Will Use Google AI Search

With Google choosing ensloppification, here's a recommendation for an independent search engine to try.
Mojeek (on the Fedi at @Mojeek ) is an independent search engine based out if the UK. Unlike the various front ends to Bing, it runs its own web crawler.
The most impressive feature is you enter the thing you want to search for, and it returns a list of website links.

The author of @allaboutberlin on how Google AI Overviews are killing independent web publishing, citing a 70% drop in traffic after seven years of steady growth. His work trains the model. The model is replacing his site. There is no credit, clicks, or revenue. This is what the "enshittification" of the open web looks like in practice.
Hard to imagine moving to Berlin without stumbling upon his guides at some point.

AI is killing All About Berlin. When you Googled something, you used to get a link to my website. Now you get an AI-generated answer trained on my work. This has a devastating impact on traffic. It's hard to fund my work with 70% fewer visitors.Nicolas B. (LinkedIn)

Starting September 2026, a silent update, nonconsensually pushed by Google, will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over #government ID.

Google's proposed workaround for sideloading unverified apps requires 9 steps, a mandatory 24-hour waiting period, and is delivered through Google Play Services, not the Android OS. Google can modify or remove it at any time without user consent.Erik Uden 🚩 (MastodonDE)

@smilingdemon@mastodon.art @db@social.lol I think the biggest ‘problem' is that, for whatever reason, people thought Google et al. were philanthropic organisations rather than very rich companies, and what they were doing was for the greater good.Gerard Thomas (Mastodon)

#Google and #Amazon failed to address human rights risks associated with their Project Nimbus cloud contract with the Israeli government.
#gazagenocide #palestine #projectnimbus #israel #warcrimes #eff
Google and Amazon have the power and responsibility to address the harms linked to their technologies. Failing to act is an active decision, one with serious consequences for communities already facing danger and displacement. eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/goog…Google and Amazon: Acknowledged Risks, and Ignored Responsibilities

"Cookies, identifiers and other data that google silently stores on android handsets", 2026, D.J. Leith
I lot of the hostnames or IP addresses that your android devices connect to without your direct knowledge or consent(1) are hard to find anything relevant about, except for the fact that Google owns a lot of the domains and IP ranges. This article helped me a lot when deciding which end points to block(2).
(1) You have given your consent, albeit unknowingly, since the EULAs are purposefully written so that the end user has a hard time understanding it.\
(2) In my case, with a systemless hosts file using Magisk and AdAway
Well, the new Google ReCaptcha is awful, sheesh
It's a QR code you have to scan with a "proper" device - aka with Google Services installed
Goodbye last 10 years of phishing awareness, time to scan random QRs without a thought while you are purchasing things, woo! Seriously what were they thinking?
And because it's recommended to be put in "high risk" places, people will expect them to be seen there, and so a scam/phishing QR will be so much easier to slip in.

By now you've all probably heard about the latest shenanigans from Google and their love for in-browser AI features (if you don't, this is the story: theverge.com/tech/924933/googl…).
Our team has been inspecting the Chromium code and disabling stuff from the very first version of Vivaldi (we have some posts about this in our blog, such as vivaldi.com/blog/news/alert-no… or vivaldi.com/blog/no-google-viv…).
We've also been very outspoken about our dislike of the built-in AI trend in the browser industry, but in case there's still any doubts: yes, we disable all Gemini-related features, and we've been doing it for a while.

Chrome lataa nyt tietokoneelle 4 gigatavun paikallisen tekoälymallin - kysymättä lupaa tai ilmoittamatta asiasta
Tiedosto latautuu itsestään kaikille tietokoneille sen kummemmin mitään ilmoittamatta, kunhan tietokone vain täyttää tietyt suorituskykyvaatimukset.
Tekoälymalli-tiedoston poistaminen ei auta mitään, sillä selain lataa sen automaattisesti aina uudestaan.

You will need a Google pixel phone, for Graphene OS.
High end Android phones are out of my reach. I spend money on cycling parts
Any phone above 200 USD is out of reach of most people where the salaries are 50 USD or less.
Pixel phones are 700 USD or more
The Motorola phones which will work with Graphene OS have not even been put into production yet
The Android division of Google needs to be split up into parts like the Bell phone company for this treason
