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.
gcc git cmakecmake .andmakeI ran “degoogled” Chromium, but just with some policies, the Fedora version.
Brave:
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.
Nice!
I use Secureblue which uses the Fedora-packaged Chromium. It has pretty fast updates and bundled SELinux rules, which is always important.
Secureblue now uses a policy to block a lot of surface Google stuff, but I can imagine how that doesnt cover the tight Google Integration everywhere…
Fedora fixed Firefox so now it accepts using a different memory allocator, in this case hardened_malloc (from GrapheneOS). So I will be able to use Firefox again! (Before it just crashed)
Chromium is not even nice. Tab groups are cool, and the compact interface and CSD decorations with hitbox in the very edge. But the rest is just copied Firefox.
Brave breaks Sites randomly and is full of bloat. Compiling it without all those modules may be an option but if we want a good, fast, memory safe Browser with an independent Addon store… there needs to come something else.
Why isn’t it called a googercounter
eatthecake, they clearly need you on the marketing team, stat.
👏
Is there something like this for android?
There isn’t AFAIK, but there is a Firefox add-on that I guess it should work on android at least for web browsing.
Something like this would be cool for ublock origin too, with a sound pinging whenever an ad is blocked; could be fun.

Thanks!
That’s an hilarious add-on. Like a google Geiger counter. Thanks for sharing it.
