If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now - Lemmy.world

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

The whole Reddit debacle has really made me rethink all my services. I recently installed duck duck go and still getting used to it, so not quite sure if I’m ready to make another drastic change.

I used to love Firefox in 2006 or so, but got Chrome when it was released and forgot about Firefox. I think I’ll open a tab in my chrome browser for the Firefox page now…this is how I remind myself to delve deeper into stuff later. Thanks for the inspiration, everyone. Google has irked me ever since removing the Don’t Be Evil mantra.

The difference between ddg and Firefox for me is that Firefox is a genuinely good product, whereas ddg is noticeably worse than Google. Still trying to find a good search alternative.

I recently learned that ddg is a meta search engine which pulls from Bing search, which is probably why it sucks.

Tried out brave search engine (uses it’s own search algorithm) and the results have been better. Probably slightly weaker than google.
