What are /r/antigoogle's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

So the explanation is:

Bing makes Firefox redirect the request to Maps App
I don't use a Maps App, so, it then redirects back to Firefox
And Firefox decides to load Google, despite my search engine settings making Bing the default?

Edit: I just checked what kind of link it pushes. A https://www.bing.com/maps? blah blah blah

I'm going to put this link in my desktop and see what happens

Edit 2: Exact link works perfectly on desktop. No redirecting to google. All the link is is my query, then the three results with Names/ID numbers per Bing Database and their GPS Coordinates, and then a suffix of &v=2&sV=1&FORM=MAPAGG

So is MAPAGG the problem, redirecting me to my maps app and thus to google in firefox?

Edit 3: OK, nope, fuck it. So, I was still in Request Desktop Mode. Bing just refuses to serve up mobile maps. If I go to that link on my mobile, and then turn off Request Desktop Mode, it redirects me to a non-map list of results:

www.bing.com/entityexplore/?&eeptype=MapEntity&q=MyQuery

So all in all, all fault lies on Bing on this one. Not sure why they want me going to Google. Not sure why they can't pass the correct query to Google either.

Edit 4: And just for curiosity sake... I tried with the initial query as mobile. The Maps link, I Couldn't get, I could only choose to save image. Whatever. The Directions link? EXPLICITLY to Google. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/My+location/*NAME*,*ADDRESS*/@*GPS_Coordinates*,8z/

> Google patents facial recognition system based on users' social media data

> Google has access to more user data than the company cares to acknowledge but according to a recent report from The Next Web, the amount of data just doesn’t seem enough. The report reveals that one of Google’s patents has recently been approved which will allow the company to parse social media connections in order to improve facial ID of users

> Since the technology is currently just in its patent stage, you shouldn’t be worried about Google aggregating your facial data right now, but it’s definitely a possibility in the long run

I have degoogled my PC life as completely as I'm able. If there is any remnants of Google left, I don't know about them. Switching email, browser and search engine are no-brainers. If you're not prepared to do this, there's not a lot of point trying.

Phone is more tricky. Getting an iphone is an obvious route. I have a Samsung and so have similar issues to you. I created a google account specifically for my phone and limit sharing as much as I can. I'll delete the account when the phone goes, even if it means setting up a new one for my next phone. For all I know, though, google will link these somehow, but i can't think of any other way.

One reason is the cost - all those videos have gotta be stored on someone's storage, and YouTube has an awful lot of content... It costs big bucks to store that much content, and most of the alternatives aren't making as much as Google makes in a day, let alone in a year or two.

There are alternatives to the "storage" thing - such as WebTorrent based solutions like PeerTube and BitChute... But they don't have mobile device clients (e.g. for smartphones, tablets and consoles), plus I've found the experience to be sub-par.
