Thanks to everyone who participated in the first 5-Week De-Google Challenge on Signal!

I'm about to start another de-Google challenge AND a de-Amazon challenge on Monday.

Here is info on the de-Amazon group. (Signal group and PDF plan)

The de-Google Signal group is here.

And for the de-Google challenge we'll be using this checklist

I hope you'll join (and share) one...or both!.

Does Firefox have some sort of addon that will let you easily check to see if the site you're on is being hosted by AWS, Google Cloud, etc?

I don't know, but that's a great idea! I hope someone else here can answer.
