ars technica: we don't know how they did it but google chrome now extracts a pint of blood every time you log on

chrome user, dizzy from blood loss: I swear to god I am like this close to switching to firefox

another chrome user, on the verge of fainting from severe blood loss: no need to resort to that, just switch to [insert today's trendy chrome fork here] and be smart like meeee

I love it so much!

Firefox has made it SO EASY to switch to Firefox from Chrome, that you dont even lose your OPEN TABS.

Have you got 34 open tabs lol? And you lost uBlock ad-blocker today? (You did, you lost your ad blocker, because Google)

You dont even lose open Tabs! (And you get to install uBlock)

Fancy that.

So that's that: Firefox is now the only useful browser in the world.

Meanwhile, Google controls nearly the entire web browser market, far more than Microsoft ever did at the height of the original browser wars.

Using Chromium based products makes you less safe.

You can also...switch browsers and keep using #uBlock Origin despite what #Google wants you to think.

The 'other' extensions they speak of will only continue to work because they opted to voluntarily diminish their capabilities.

Such extensions do not work in your interest.
