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.

Love Firefox, but if you want Chrome get Chromium or Brave.

I don't trust the libertarian Brave guy (formerly of Firefox, haha): https://www.searchenginejournal.com/brave-browser-under-fire-for-alleged-sale-of-copyrighted-data/491854/

Vivaldi and Opera with Chromium as a back up are my Blink browsers.

Firefox and Firefox Beta are my main browsers. I use the containers add on with FF Beta to basically use it as a sort of equivalent of Ferdi but with Firefox Beta allowing Google services in one account can talk to each other, all contained in one container that corresponds to one tab group/window.

"libertarian"

Man, I thought I misspelled it, haha.

Yeah, I agree. His lobbying to ban gay marriage was anything but libertarian, but I think that's how he identifies.

I use ungoogled-chromium when I need compatibility for something.

I don't think chromium is much better than chrome.

I wouldn't touch brave.

Yeah but then that would be supporting and enabling Google’s standards.

Some websites just don't work as well in FireFox unfortunately. I still keep Brave installed as a backup, even though FF is my main browser.
