If you can, use Firefox.

It's getting harder to remain compassionate towards people who keep using chrome.

Are you serious? You can't be compassionate toward people who use a certain browser? It's probably because they don't understand/know/care. 🤷‍♂️ Educate them.

People who care make the switch so not sure what there is to feel compassionate about.

Its kinda nice they slowed YouTube down first, that got at least 3 people i know into using firefox, though if i still want to annoy them i could tell them to run a invidius docker instead.

In some ways, it is unavoidable, because chrome is also embedded in Windows, and the electron framework. You can't blame someone for using it that way.
