Guys - It's a Movement! Take Back the Web: Why Switching to Brave Matters For years, we've been told that Google's tracking, Meta's surveillance-driven advertising, YouTube's algorithms and Big Tech's enormous appetite for personal data are simply the price of using the internet. They aren't. We have been conditioned to accept a web where a handful of enormous corporations monitor our behavior, profile our interests, compete for our attention and turn our personal information into an incredibly valuable commercial asset.

Why shouldn't a cat have the option to find the best spots in the city, online? :) This is obviously what the Hiroshima tourism board thought, when they decided to create a Google Street view style tool especially for our curious and fluffy, feline friends. Questions like: 'Where is the best free food lying around' and 'where can I meet up with my furry buddies', will be answered here. Hiroshima prefecture has designed the cat's eye street map . If you try it out, you will encounter ca. 8 cats during your stroll through   Onomichi city , which is located about 70 km from Hiroshima.  Using 360-degree cameras at a low height, made it possible to experience life from a different angle - from a cat's point of view! More locations and details will be added later this year. Purrfect. (all photos  ©   Cat Street View )

' was either typed in by a lot of sceptical kids or some adults, who actually want to believe!  To get to the full infographic - just click HERE . (infographic via SearchFactory.com.au )
