Good luck. I switched to Firefox months ago and couldn’t be happier.
Same.
Switched? I've been using it since pre-1.0
I have chrome, but that's because my company's product uses it for our clients plugin. Only use it for work stuff.
Brave and Arc for me! F chrome ;)
Idk arc but brave is just a downstream of chromium with a little less Bs. We all know the discussion.
Brave is chrome with a fresh coat of paint
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.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain.
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?
Yeah it honestly surprises me they haven't been doing this already. I mean at least on a smaller scale this has been Google's business model for a while now.
Yet another reason to ditch Chrome and go to Firefox.
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.
You can switch it now but obviously it's just a matter of time til you won't be allowed to.
Install Firefox Install Firefox Install Firefox!
Maybe avoid software from an ad company?

Goddamn I won't be affected coz I am not using chrome. Sworry!
Do note that people will still use chrome and ignore the problems
If I use chrome I better get some Pepsi ads that incorporate the kinks I look up on e621
This is a great reason to continually flush your browser

I'm happy to get interest based ads so I'll keep sticking with Chrome.
lol! love the downvotes due to personal preference.
