Today I found out that google docs infects html exports with spyware, no scripts, but links in your document are replaced with invisible google tracking redirects. I was using their software because a friend wanted me to work with him on a google doc, he is a pretty big fan of their software, but we were both somehow absolutely shocked that they would go that far.
Title says it all. Somewhat interesting if true. I wouldn’t be surprised either way.
Not surprised at all and proved that Degoogle is not only a choice but necessity.
I used have a lot of documents saved as Google docs. Feels much better now just using LibreOffice.
Do you have shared spreadsheets? I’ve been trying to find an alternative to Google Sheets, but I’ve not found one yet. Someone had suggested Disroot, but the spreadsheet doesn’t work well with Android.
Spreadsheet is a difficult one.
I do not have an alternative of a spreadsheet that can be actively edited by multiple people.
Instead I just go back to sending files which works well for most of the use cases.
That is a trade off that I decided to make but understand that not everyone can make that trade off.
