Good luck. I switched to Firefox months ago and couldn’t be happier.

I like seeing the full cycle of Google Chrome starting out as the hero the world needed, to becoming the bloated pile of stalkerware trash like it had originally replaced.
Rest in piss Google chrome.
Was it ever needed? What has chrome provided that wasn't already available from other 3rd party and/or open source browsers?
The whole "faster than firefox" thing was greatly exaggerated, didn't last long, and was at least partially artificial as google has been found to intentionally gimp their sites on non-chrome browsers.
Chrome's UI was light years ahead of the competition. I'd be tempted to say they had an impact on the design of all desktop applications.
For folks that knew browsers other than Internet Explorer existed, no.
But for the vast majority of internet users, yes I think it was needed.
Is there a lemmy sub for no shit sherlock? This post needs a link to that
have they not already been doing this ever since they created Chrome?
I had to read the whole article to get to this info: Depending on what Chrome version you're using, and whether you've been selected to start using Topics API, you can switch this functionality off and on by visiting chrome://settings/adPrivacy and/or chrome://settings/privacySandbox – cut'n'paste these URLs into your address bar to jump straight to the controls.
Or don’t use chrome at all.
You can switch it now but obviously it's just a matter of time til you won't be allowed to.
This is why chrome is for work only. Firefox for everything else.
Nah, Firefox with UserAgent Switcher for work.
For me it's Chrome for work, because we're not allowed to install anything on our machines :(
Is there a portable firefox?
If they're not allowed to install their own software, they probably aren't allowed to use USB drives
Apologies, I am the one who makes those decisions. So I give firefox to those who will take it and no matter what I make sure Google isn't their default search engine.
And also .... When you give users the choice to turn something on or off but don't tell them that the thing is on and also make it inconvenient for them to turn it off ....
... Most users won't turn it off.
Does this apply to chromium?
If I use chrome I better get some Pepsi ads that incorporate the kinks I look up on e621
