If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now

With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I have been using firefox wince forever, never really cared about privacy tbh…i just like it 🤷🏼‍♂️

What’s the real concern about privacy anyway? I mean google (gmail) and apple (iphone) already know more about me than my family…

Yes but why are we ok with that?

Why is it normal to have a giant American ad company know everything about your life, and billions of others?

Its not normal at all. We just got used to the status quo.

Many people associate this company with "the internet" even. It's sick.

Firefox Multi-Containers addon can help you with that, sandboxing different instances of Google. And you can even route each container through a different VPN server if you subcribe to Mozilla VPN or do extra legwork with Mullvad VPN, so that they can't fingerprint you with your IP address, browser, and machine, even if you have a separate set of cookies for each container.

"I've got nothing to hide" is not a good enough reason to give up privacy. "Watch out for terrorists" is not a good enough reason either. These days, "Think about our children" seems to be the argument of choice to encourage people to voluntarily give up their privacy.
