> Oh well, they just deleted one of my apps from a users phone. Who, why and how?

I offer a conversations fork and a browser app (both Android so far) for my searx instance and the user said the browser was gone. And it really was. I wonder how too. ✏

but maybe it was just coincidence Martin ✏

Idk

When your dealing with bigtech monopolies it's hard to discount things as coincidence

For example how every other week in windows 10, your privacy settings switch back to something other than what you set them

Or you uninstall candy crush

And there it is next week

It's been a while since I last used Windows, but one job I was forced to, and that kept happening

It was very difficult to use because the start menu was blazened with animated ads

And i kept getting popups to register with something called 'one drive'

yes, sometimes they just do things you never imagined. Is google an official ISP in the US btw? There was someone trying to log in my account from an google ISP from the US several times😂 ✏

I don't know

I think there was something in the news about 'google fiber'

Also

Cloudflare is now a vpn company
