# Closing remarks
|
||||
|
||||
It's a shame that Google, with their immense resources, power, and influence, don't see the benefits of helping people secure themselves online. Instead, they force people like us to scour the web for alternatives and convince our friends and family to do the same, while they sell off our data to the highest bidder.
|
||||
|
||||
Hopefully this guide can serve as a starting point for those new to privacy, or be a good refresher for the experts.
|
||||
|
||||
Good luck and stay safe!
