How can I protect my privacy when using Google Classroom
Hello everyone,
As the title says, I need to use Google Classroom for a class I'm taking with my local school. I didn't get a choice in tooling unfortunately. I have in my private life cut google out, not having used Gmail in over a decade, using Youtube through invidious, OSM instead of Google Maps, etc.
I'm already planning on using either Firefox multiple account containers or a different dedicated browser for school stuff entirely. Is there any other advice you have to protect my privacy as much as possible?
I'm in the EU and I know Google is more limited in the data they can collect from educational uses, but obviously I don't trust Google.
I have the same issue. My workplace uses Google to store their documents which need to be accessed on a daily basis.
I use Firefox for my personal web browsing and Brave for Google or work related stuff. Isolating Google/work stuff from my personal browsing has been working for me. I also use Thunderbird if I only need to open or send an email via Google.
Brave has ad and telemetry blocking options and you can (for now) still use Ublock origin.
