    You’re right, you’re not going to achieve complete anonymity if you’re interacting with Google services in any way, but you can reduce the amount of information that they receive.

          it has been solved for approximately 2 billion people on this planet, but those answers are not friendly to profit-seeking institutions like google and the only remaining institutions that can stop it are captured by the likes of google

            for the record, I don’t believe logging in with wechat is any better, and recaptcha is present on the utilities websites of my european country leaning towards china.
