It is essential to stop using Chrome.
Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.
Given Google's overwhelming presence in the browser market, this is unconscionable.
We should all despise the ad-tech business, and have no sympathy for the companies getting whacked by Google's actions. But we should not permit one monopolist to replace them all.

Yeah, I’ll never use Chrome again. Google has always been shady, but this latest round of anti-features is unbelievable. I’m shocked there’s been no anti-trust suits related to what they’re doing with Chrome. Firefox is just a better browser with way more security options and extension support. That alone is enough for me to stick with it.
lmao at the thought of mozilla suing microsoft. Basically no resources vs functionally infinite resources, they would stand no chance at all. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but our legal system is based on a variation of might vs right, we could call it rich vs bitch for convenience

And they are too rich and too old to know or care
Me, a foss contributer choosing edge because it’s a more convenient browser 🤷♂️
Shit like this is why it’s 25 years later and we’re still joking about year of the Linux desktop.
At some point just accept your objectives are mutually exclusive.
More power to you! Edge isn’t bad, it just has bad affiliations. I’ll keep using Firefox though :^)

Yup. I’m just saying that Edge is no worse than Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera, etc. that all use the same Google-controlled rendering engine.
As a web dev, you do have to test against the Chromium engine, and in that context, Edge is not inherently worse than Chrome itself.

you can always enable Project Fission for a better sandbox in Firefox.
