Google is trying to put the web in a cage in the same way they put your devices in a cage (Android, ChromeOS).

There’s one really easy, simple and efficient way to fight them: uninstall Chrome/Chromium, use #firefox

Do it. Now.

– But I prefer Chrome because of…

If you are not ready to sacrifice a little comfort (so little, Firefox is great) to save the web, then you don’t deserve a free web anyway. You are part of those killing it.

Remove Chrome. Install Firefox.

@ploum What do you think of Chromium browsers like Brave?

@jwinstonsf @ploum it may be a more private chrome, but still helping google hijack web standards because it's chromium

@chuang @ploum It filters out ads and AMP sites, the two Google things I dislike. Also you can turn off google services for push messaging, Google sign-in and a lot of other stuff I frankly don't understand..

I keep all of the crypto junk turned off.

Am I missing anything else?

I like being able to use Chrome extensions and have them sync across devices. I find Firefox to be a bit clunky but I haven't used it in a while so maybe its better these days.

@jwinstonsf @chuang @ploum no you got it.

Brave has its issue without question but it does work well.

I’m hoping Vivaldi work on their optimisation to eclipse Brave as the decent degoogled Chromium option.
