i don’t want to offend anyone, but some open source/privacy enthusiasts dislike google, but why?? google has made chromium, android, etc and most of the things they do are open source, and not only that, they also support creative commons media or public domain. i know the privacy concernes they may have, but they would never do anything bad to you. i love google personally because of their commitment to open source software.
i know those criticisms. but while they do end the life of some services, they mostly do it to merge other services or make them better. and by the way, their main open source projects haven’t been ended, so that means something.
