Google's own settings page literally admits — in writing — that turning off "Hey Google" doesn't actually turn off Hey Google. 😶
I found this buried in a confirmation dialog on my Pixel. Most people tap straight through it without reading.
Just dropped a new video showing exactly where to find it + 4 other settings Google hid in your Pixel that drain your battery AND track you. Each takes under 30 seconds.

Most people think their Instagram is safe because they turned on 2FA…
But there’s one setup many people skip — and it could be the difference between keeping your account safe or losing access.
I made a quick step-by-step guide showing you what to check and how to set it up properly.

*Brave Isn’t Private Until You Change THIS*
Most people think Brave = private…
But if you didn’t change these settings, you’re basically using Chrome with a different logo 😬
I fixed 5 hidden settings that:
✔ Block trackers before they load
✔ Force secure connections (no data leaks)
✔ Stop fingerprint tracking
✔ Even speed up your phone
✔ And fix battery drain 🔋
Watch this before you open Brave again 👇

Did you know Chrome has 5 settings turned on by default that are quietly sending your data to Google?
Most people have never touched these — and one of them is uploading your saved passwords and payment details to the cloud right now without clearly telling you.
I just dropped a full video breaking down exactly which settings to turn off and how to do it in under 10 minutes.
🔗 Link in the bio — go watch it before you open Chrome again.
