@nixCraft so relieved I’m using Firefox on desktop and safari on mobile, but I’m looking at the market share trends and not feeling optimistic for my future

@nixCraft I might pay the $50/year for Google Chrome Enterprise so I can keep using uBlock Origin without being impacted by manifest v3 lol

@elaine @nixCraft the gymnastics people go through to avoid just downloading Firefox
Show threadAulisVainionpaaJun 28, 2023

@nixCraft #brave and #vivaldi are better #chromium-based browsers than Chrome.

If possible, it is better not to use Chrome at all.

There are other alternative browsers.

If the existing options are not suitable and/or do not meet your requirements/preferences, there is nothing to stop you from starting a completely new browser development project.

@Quilly @nixCraft I still don't understand. I use Google services (primarily Chrome browser and android OS) everyday.
Show threadQuillsJun 28, 2023
@lauraorchid
Well, it's a privacy concern so if you aren't worried bout that in ralation to google it probably won't affect you, using chrome makes me super uncomfortable for example

@nixCraft > Do yourself a favour and get uBlock Origin

Better yet, get Brave and dump Chome entirely. Then you aren't giving google your data at all.

@nixCraft Or better, download Firefox and ublock.

@nixCraft the plain way to label that option is, "do you want ads with tracking or ads with profiling.?" yeah, that similarly annoying they could be. hard to escape them on smart tv's...or ad connected Tv's actually.
