Time to stop using Chrome(arstechnica.com)

posted 1 year ago

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.

Edge is still Chromium, so it’s not really any better.

I mean Firefox is pretty lightweight, not sure you’re getting much benefit from not installing it.

For me, the privacy concerns of Chromium based browsers combined with Microsoft shoving Edge in our faces means I’ll never use their browser.

Then again I only use Windows for work, I’m a filthy Linux user for anything personal
