Google Chrome pushes ahead with targeted ads based on your browser history::YMMV, based on where you are
I like seeing the full cycle of Google Chrome starting out as the hero the world needed, to becoming the bloated pile of stalkerware trash like it had originally replaced.
Rest in piss Google chrome.
Was it ever needed? What has chrome provided that wasn’t already available from other 3rd party and/or open source browsers?
The whole “faster than firefox” thing was greatly exaggerated, didn’t last long, and was at least partially artificial as google has been found to intentionally gimp their sites on non-chrome browsers.
Chrome’s UI was light years ahead of the competition. I’d be tempted to say they had an impact on the design of all desktop applications.
