Personally, I avoid as much Google as reasonably possible. IMO, safe-browsing is a great example of a place for anyone and everyone like-minded to start (gmail, Chrome proper, Youtube.app/.com among others). Not saying sb is worthless (checking linked redirects in browser DLs for insecure connections is neat, for one), per se. But I am saying that you will almost surely experience no negative effects from disabling it. I've survived, virtually unscathed (dad pun!); disabling it, cross-platform for as long as I can remember. It's worthless to me.
Google have done truly amazing things for a truly amazing thing in securing the world's internet. They are champions of information security the level one would expect of an industry titan.
They are also an the ad company.
The ad company that (will) continue to develop the proprietary, surveillance-marketing scourge at the heart of their profound ascension to omnipotence most glorious, human tool for make great again humanity.
Seriously*, thanks for Maps, android/aosp, Chromium, somehow maintaining the YT monster. You're welcome for all the money...along with so many of our thoughts, fears, hopes and dreams available for purchase/trade.
Great relationship. Would enter into again!!
