You can set the webpage to self refresh on interval by itself no extensions needed.

“Page refresh”. You mean F5 (or ctrl + r) right?

Excellent article. That’s why I use OSS first and foremost as they don’t have the incentive to bring in € instead they are more focused on a quality product.

You won’t get rid of google tracking you on Youtube or Gmail,

For gmail that’s true (one should use something else anyhow). For youtube you can use an alternative frontend like NewPipe to avoid tracking.

You can basically disable most Google tracking though a good DNS that blocks that traffic.

So only most but not all. Therefore it’s not private if there’s any tracking. Thus a de-googled version is the only option.

If there’s tracking it’s not private.
