A nickname: on every online account I set a nickname and not my real name. If you google name you get 2 results from same site about some competition. If you google my nickname you get 2 pages of my stuff.
Switch from Google (to GrapheneOS, ProtpnMail, etc.)
Good idea. I will made a invisible link to "traps for bots". One trap will show random text, one will be redirect loop and one would be random link generator that will link to itself. I will also make every response randomly slow, for example 0,5 to 1,5 seconds.
Good thing is that I can also block search engine crawlers from accessing only the traps.
Why does a VPN proxy software have any hard dependency on a process manager?
Probably because of killswitch. App installs a service that manages internet and vpn access, the app is just a GUI for communicating with that service.
I know, I use GrapheneOS with 6 profiles (only 2 have Google services), but some apps like Android Auto require tight integration with OS which is not possible with GrapheneOS. I thought GPay was one of them.
You can run a monero node, tor relay/bridge, etc.
