Best of luck with the interview. It's the end of the month so the recruiter might actually do some work.
And congratulations on joining the fox side. You can create a Mozilla account to sync devices like chrome if you're happy handing those details over
@tombruzzo @Gibsonisafluffybutt I'm in the process of switching over โ I downloaded Firefox quite literally this morning.
I'm also playing around with NextCloud as a possible substitute for a number of Google's other services.
Unfortunately, it looks like Google jumped the shark at this point.
The accountants and managerialists are well and truly in charge. The people who actually cared about building a great search engine, or a great open mobile operating system, have been cast aside.
Panicked decision-making about LLMs and enshittification for profit seems to be the new norm.

You may also wish to check out startpage.com as a default search engine. Works well with Firefox on android and seems more respectful of privacy than most (I switched from duckduckgo a while back).
@coffee2Di4@glasgow.social @ajsadauskas@aus.social @tombruzzo@aussie.zone @Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone I run a SearxNG instance and there are tons out there. It aggregates from other search engines, including google, but strips personal identification data from the queries. You can also control which engines it pulls from.

I'll have a gander at SearxNG
My ability to keep up has lagged a bit in recent decades.
