One way would be to switch your default search engine to Bing in Chrome.

I bet that doesn't stop it lol

And another is to just use Microsoft Edge already. Jesus Christ, Edge is an ACTUALLY GOOD WEB BROWSER. It's based on Chromium, so there's no usable difference, plus you can access https://passwords.google.com in Edge with no issue.

No, thank you.

Right? They're the same browser just reporting everything you do to different people.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Exactly. Just bend over and grab your ankles, they're going in dry.

Are you actually bots? I can't believe you would suggest either chrome or bing if privacy is a concern to you. It's firefox and duckduckgo all day, every day...

I mean, if I was a bot, I'd probably be more productive.

I think you might have meant to ask if I was a shill. But in any case, OP specifically asked a question in relation to using Chrome and related to being pressured to use Bing. While my suggestion was pretty tongue-in-cheek, it was still on topic. You saying "Use Firefox instead" is kind of a poor answer that might appeal to your bias, but isn't really on topic for this question. I would guess that OP is aware of other browser options.
