With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

What if I told you I always used Firefox... ?

[-] RogueSensei@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I've played around with a few browsers, and while Firefox is a better alternative to chrome, I'd more recommend a privacy hardened fork of firefox such as LibreWolf or GNU IceCat. I've also used mullvad browser which is kinda neat.

Some people are too comfortable using chrome for it's extension library however, so if a mozilla-based browser doesn't fulfill the extensions requirement, Brave browser is a good choice. I haven't tried de-googled chromium, but I imagine it's food for the reasons it says on the tin.

I have been a loyal Firefox users for years but I would lie if I didn't say I get tired of websites not working.

I don't understand what's wrong with tracking me for advertising. If I have to see ads they might as well be something I might be interested in. Google can give more relevant search results. Things cost less. What are the downsides to selling my information to advertisers?

I understand how tik tok can be used for cyber warfare so I don't use that. I don't know what china can do with millions of people's personal information. Chrome doesn't collect nearly as much data as tik tok.
