My Tip: Get more bookmark shortcuts on your Bookmark Toolbar, RIGHT-click on the Icon to open a new window, click "EDIT" and then completely remove/delete the Name. This way, it will ONLY show the ICONS on the bar without the name. Not only is it a cleaner minimalistic look and feel but you can also PACK more shortcuts on the toolbar now so it's more productive.

Perfect! Wasn't looking for your content, but was the best Rabbit Hole I've gone down in a long time.

Brilliant video TechGumbo, loads of excellent info - gonna have to rewatch it many times! I'd already done the 'auto-delete activity' one, I've now done the 'home button' & 'stop apps running in the background' ones... frustrated that the 'use secure DNS' option isn't available on my Chrome browser, maybe it's because I live outside the US.

The MYACTIVITY setting 0:50 was turned off when I looked at it. (May have taken someone else's advice a while ago.) Haven't had any issues. Sync seems to work okay, although Maps might not capture info from one device to another. No big deal. Why should I turn it on?

[muziernestmagongo]

You are a DATA SAVER us in South Africa 🇿🇦 thank you

[johnmcdougald]

On my Chrome browser, your final points, like Send to Device, Customize aren't don't show up on mine. I'm using the most up to date version also. Any ideas why, or how I can gain those features? Thanks

[chemyguy]

I've been threw some but wow many I didn't know thanks for the educational video

[roberthaddockjr.]

Can someone help with this problem? I'm unable to view certain videos on YT and get this error, including on this video....: "This video is restricted. Try signing in with a G Suite account."
I don't have this issue on all videos and I'm not sure that this video is actually restricted. I'm wondering if my YT settings are messed up? Any help is appreciated!
