Today I found out that google docs infects html exports with spyware, no scripts, but links in your document are replaced with invisible google tracking redirects. I was using their software because a friend wanted me to work with him on a google doc, he is a pretty big fan of their software, but we were both somehow absolutely shocked that they would go that far.

    I figured this out when I searched for my gaming web page on itch.io, and it wouldn’t come up. But then I went to duckduckgo and did the search, and every game I’ve made was in the search result. Pretty scummy if you ask me. Needless to say I changed all my browsers to duckduckgo instead of google.

      By browsers do you mean search engines in the browsers? I use DDG for search. Firefox is king, browsers wise.
