For anyone who thinks they’re “stuck” with chrome, Firefox has gotten it’s shit together massively in the last few years.

Which is why Google’s next step is to effectively require chromium browsers for any websites wanting access to Google services and products.

Sounds like a good reason to stop using Google services and products. Some examples (note, I haven’t used some of these yet):

Search - DuckDuckGo Email - ProtonMail Drive - Dropbox Sheets/Docs - Zoho

Some of these examples may not the best for everyone, but my point is that we do not have to let Google continue to push us around.

If you like ChatGPT/care less about privacy, Bing is a great alternative.
