Hello everyone,

As the title says, I need to use Google Classroom for a class I’m taking with my local school. I didn’t get a choice in tooling unfortunately. I have in my private life cut google out, not having used Gmail in over a decade, using Youtube through invidious, OSM instead of Google Maps, etc.

I’m already planning on using either Firefox multiple account containers or a different dedicated browser for school stuff entirely. Is there any other advice you have to protect my privacy as much as possible?

I’m in the EU and I know Google is more limited in the data they can collect from educational uses, but obviously I don’t trust Google.

    Using a dedicated browser should be good enough. Since you might need some proprietary google stuff, I’d suggest chromium portable, that way once the class is over, you can simply delete the whole folder and call it a day.
