Ditch Chrome. Ditch it yesterday. It’s already 50% hostile surveillance machine, but that’s soon going to be 100%.

Vivaldi is a fine near-drop-in replacement if you want maximum compatibility. It’s what I use for G-Suite stuff whenever I have to use it.

Waterfox is a Firefox fork that strips out the AI nonsense features. I’ve been happy with it.

Firefox itself has problematic leadership these days, but is still better than Chrome.

Safari on Mac (my daily driver) is a lovely browser, lean and blazing fast compared to Chrome, and great privacy features — though it’s still Big Tech if that’s a problem for you.

In short, you have choices!

Why ditch Chrome if you are going to use G-Suite?
Don't you think Google does the same type of surveillance and data theft in all of their malware (products)?
It is who they are.

@geos @inthehands I'm forced to use it for work. Otherwise, I'd ditch it altogether.

I'd want to isolate that cr@p on a work computer and not touch it on a personal device. It is malware. Everything they do is about harvesting your data and selling it to anyone anywhere with no compunction.
So yeah, no Chrome on a personal device, but you have to consider any device using G-anything is compromised.

Why a business would trust them with anything is beyond me. 🤦
