Stop using chrome and move to Firefox, also stop using Windows and more to Linux.
Or the Mullvad browser, Mullvad's fork of FF with zero ads with help from the Tor project.
Firefox is now owned by ads company. By default there are enabled telemetrics and moreover companies starts to ignore compability of their web services with browser which market share is lower than 2% even goverments stops considering that browser. Mozzila instead of optimization of their browser spend time introduceing features like AI. I was trying to like that browser but mozzila effectively does not allow me. Now btw. I use just vivaldi. I know this is not fully open source.
Which "ads company"? No offense, just curious.

Says Mozilla owns the ad company. Not sure where it says the ad company owns mozilla
Were Firefox to go bad, we would use a non-bad fork off Firefox. It's open source.
They are not independent. It all soft fork. Everything depends on firefox. If firefox die all the forks will die with too.
So you use Chromium...
Google is Mozilla’s dad so I’m not sure how long we will be able to use FF with v2.
Even a short-lived chance to cling to Fx is worth something. Hopefully they will team up with others to port the missing parts to v3.
