Google search is the largest search engine and collects all the data it can get from you when using it, Youtube biggest video site, tries to collect everything it can, Gmail same thing, Chrome browser is now the top browser and is so tied to google that its open source counterpart chromium is still fully tied to google, look at how much work is needed for ungoogled-chromium, its insane, and of course android biggest phone os and and chromeos which of course has the same problems as chrome. Google is everywhere and it is almost impossible to use the web without connecting to google in one way or another. For this site ublock origin shows 5 different google connections.
So to me when it comes to evil from least to greatest. Apple i don't care about at all, let those special people live in their own special world with their "special hardware", running their "special software" because they are special and want to be separate from everything else. Then it goes Microsoft, hell if it wasn't for me wanting to play some Windows only games, i wouldn't even have wine installed. Then there is google, extremely hard to be google free, doable but too difficult for me. hell I use a flip phone so no android or ios for me. but i do like youtube so i don't use cookies or have an account and of course i do my best to block ads and tracking.
I hope that makes sense. I think it does, if not well i blame it on the vodka that is kicking in pretty well now haha.
