This method is the best approach, especially if you're using something like Ungoogled Chromium. This often means reading patch notes you wouldn't want to miss a critical security update.

This information can be relatively harmless, but we know how hard Big Tech mines any bit of information available.įor example, with the Chrome Web Store, you can only download extensions if you have and are signed into a Google account.

Obviously the developers didn’t read what I wrote above about other voice and videoconferencing applications working fine. Google contacted me to say I should test my Internet bandwidth while on LTE. Too bad they killed making and receiving calls in Hangouts because that worked perfectly all the time. It’s actually Google’s app that is unstable.
