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. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/12/year-review-googles-corporate-paternalism-browser

    If Firefox goes away, I’ll use Epiphany or Konquerer before I subject myself to anything that makes me view ads.

      FF has way too much groundwork laid and way too much mindshare currently (especially given the rust language and all…) If, for some reason, thousands of devs just gave up on mozilla, more would continue the path and fork it most likely.

        I hope that’s true, because I’m hearing rumblings that Mozilla is moving away from it as their core project.
