Google is now rolling out a system where Chrome directly tracks your activity and shares its summary with advertisers.

Also Firefox is faster as of like two months ago.

It takes five minutes to switch browsers, and the difference is so little that you’ll often forget you did it.

NOW you think it’s time to stop using Chrome? How about a decade ago? Ideally, when a gigantic, publicly owned monopolist makes stuff, you never even start using it.

I don’t use Firefox because it’s slow on Android. I use Vivaldi. Not fully Open Source but still good with privacy and actually kind of easy to check thay’re not fooling the users. Plus, it has a bunch of features I really like, such as nested tabs, workspaces, and full sync of almost everything

People still use chrome?

I stopped using it in 2013 when I realized that it would load all your restored tabs at once, while firefox didn’t

The time to stop using Chrome was yesterday, but I guess today is the next best
