A few years ago, I switched from Firefox to Chrome. A few months ago, I switched back to Firefox. Chrome is rolling out changes which are completely unacceptable, such as making adblockers impossible, and using my private browsing history for their own ads.

    Don't forget that chrome is also censoring saved bookmarks and purging bookmarks to URLs that are on their naughty list - right now that's mostly piracy related things, but the precedence is set.

    Your comment is a prime example of FUD.

    For context, see https://lemmy.one/comment/2495139

    TL;DR: Google is moderating public facing lists of links. Compare it to Lemmy moderators deleting illegal content in their communities.

    You can still hate Google all you want, but please, don't just read the headlines.
