PSA: Google (Android) Sync Warning

Un-retired: Met my ATF. Married her. Divorcing her.

My girl was on my tablet which wouldn't be a problem but Google (Android) syncs all searches (but not in incognito mode so use that) and she browsed through them found this site and since Google has a wonderful feature of saving chrome password across devices too was able to log in despite the fact I only log on with my phone. So I had to lay low. And can only do this incognito mode. Also fun fact Google has a my activity page which displays everything you do on a Google device including Google Home. She was able to listen to my speech to text. Read texts. Messenger and a whole host of things.

To say the least it was a tad embarrassing getting caught with my pants down :)

That's why I do ALL my dirty work in incognito. Porn, TUSCL, fucked up Google searches.....all in incognito. Wonderful feature.

What's her name? Jenny?

So now we're gonna say "Fuck You Jenny" instead of "Fuck You Jackie" ????

technology will be the death of us all.

Use the TOR browser to access this site instead. It also provides access to the Deep and Dark Webs (yes, they are two different things).
The Google sync stuff is not new news, no offense.

You can opt out of the password saving feature.

^^^ I thought you had a girlfriend that works for the Geek Squad at Best Buy considering how much computer screen cleaner you buy.

Honestly, if you're going to do this stuff while married or in a relationship, then it's on you to spend some time researching how to keep your online activities private. Google isn't terribly hard to use.

CMI

It's been 8 years since my last relationship. This one is just a few months old. No excuses but maybe I'm not used to having to cover my tracks after not having to do it for so long.

Just make sure your not signed into your Gmail account on the device you are doing the searches on and only use incognito for TUSCL and whatnot. I instantly open a incognito window every time I bring up chrome and shut down the first; it's an ingrained habit now.

Just surprised at how much info Google captured. When I use my speech to text it saves that recording. When I tell Google to turn on Netflix to a particular movie, saves that recording. Text I thought to be deleted, saved.

I'm a computer guy and I was floored at the readily available info.

The days of lying about anything are near an end. The days of just not giving a shit about what others know, well...
