Give Vivaldi a try, it's a chromium fork but with a strong focus on privacy.

No love for Iain M Banks? The Culture series looks like it will tick all your boxes and instead of following a single protagonist the Culture itself is the protagonist so each book has it's own cast of interesting characters.

I've tried everything to try get rid of google's voice assistant on my phone, stripped it right back and disabled it and then went into the settings in google and my phone but still every time I turn on my wireless headphones it always pops up. It's doing my head in, why can't I stop it!

Don't forget the big labour union wins for UPS and the Teamsters, no war but the class war baby.

Comrade Gang has merely come down with a case of outspokenness which unfortunately lead to a terminal case of lead poisoning.

I agree with you, I'd love to live in the world where Vivaldi chose Gecko instead of Chromium, but we've only got the cards we've been dealt so at least the Vivaldi team are always very vocal about this and have always said they're going to work around Google's more draconian decisions.

Not to mention that people that pirate that material are still going to talk about it, so even though they're loosing one sale to piracy they may be getting an extra 10 sales through word of mouth.

Just goes to show, google is an ad company first and foremost and they're in the process of cutting out any competition to their dominance.

Props too to Vivaldi for blowing the whistle as they have access to all the upcoming chromium builds being a fork.
