Chrome has sure had some security problems.

And it is GOOGLE Chrome.

Never heard of that before now and this what I found quick not sure which is better

It helps in that when I search stuff it doesn't pop up later as suggestions in Facebook and Amazon. Then my chrome accounts are linked with my work laptop

I do use Google and I find it gives much better search results lol.

Ive got friends so paranoid they won't even use Google maps for directions they call it the evil empire.

Which is ok until they're constantly lost on their bikes and asking me to pull up waze....
I didn't have the heart to tell them it's the same owner...

Google Chrome browser is spyware, like MS Edge. Google search engine too, and MS Bing. Selling your search history and browsing habits, and using it to sell targeted ads, is big business.

I'm using Firefox browser and DuckDuckGo search engine by default. Google maps still seems unavoidable.

For the bike I actually use Tom Tom (on my phone) to plan out long trips it performs better than Google maps in several respects and it accepts gpx files (unlike maps KML).
I can plan long trips with a huge number of way points in Tom Tom drive (if that's you thing). I can share (and import) and save gpx files with other riders in Tom Tom go, I can choose how hilly or twisty I want the roads (avoid dirt roads, highways , tolls ferry's) , it doesn't try to reroute me mid ride and it doesn't get confused if I stop mid ride then resume.
That's a big one it sucks leading a big ride carefully planned and halfway there Google maps decides it refuses to bring your route back up cause it lost connection and your mid route....

And it works with Android Auto

However for avoiding traffic in my car I still prefer waze

Thanks! I guess TomTom requires their GPS. Waze looks good, gonna try it. It's way spooky when google sends me an e-mail at the end of the month showing every address I visited for the last month.

It's all about the soil volume lol

Not really big pot or small if u let living soil dry out it dies! But with microbes u can make any soil living just gotta keep it from getting dry and crusty! Long as I don’t have a user error like letting rez run low and getting air in lines the blumats really make some living soil! Can’t even remember when i last added microbes to these but even in 3gal pots soil is nice n alive….and this was freaking miracle grow soil!
