Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

Google is now rolling out a system where Chrome directly tracks your activity and shares its summary with advertisers.

Also Firefox is faster as of like two months ago.

It takes five minutes to switch browsers, and the difference is so little that you'll often forget you did it.

  • yeah uh. it keep crashing the shit out of my PC so i just use edge, imported all the extensions and never looked back.

    • Edge is still Chromium, so it's not really any better.

      • true. but its less bloatware on my PC, ill probably switch to firefox or something in the future

        • I mean Firefox is pretty lightweight, not sure you're getting much benefit from not installing it.

          For me, the privacy concerns of Chromium based browsers combined with Microsoft shoving Edge in our faces means I'll never use their browser.

          Then again I only use Windows for work, I'm a filthy Linux user for anything personal

    • It’s always weird to hear this. I haven’t had stability issues with Firefox on dozens of computers over the past decade. Not doubting that it happens. I just don’t know what I’m apparently doing right, if anything, to prevent that.
