Why use a browser that is made by a company that WANTS ads?
“I’ve written a lot about ad blockers in the last few weeks, from Google’s Chrome updates making some popular options inoperable, to alternatives that will work, to my reason for blocking every ad on YouTube. So when I was contacted by representatives from Ghostery, a German company that operates an ad-blocker extension and other privacy products, I was eager to pick their brains.”
@feloneouscat I’ve been saying it for years and I’ll repeat it again: Chrome is an advertising platform first and a free Internet browser second.
@SpaceShanks @feloneouscat
Yup, dedicated FireFox user here. It has it's issues too, but nothing like Chrome.
@p3R1n01D @feloneouscat it’s unfortunate because the V8 engine that Chrome is built on is pretty stellar. Then Google bastardized it for their own anti-privacy and advertising purposes.
@p3R1n01D @feloneouscat @SpaceShanks you can use LibreWolf, FireFox, Brave, Vivaldi, Safari… I deleted Google Chrome a year ago.

I use Safari. I used Chrome once and didn’t like it. That and I don’t trust Google.
@SpaceShanks @p3R1n01D @feloneouscat same here :), but on FreeBSD I use Firefox librewolf and iridium
@p3R1n01D @SpaceShanks @feloneouscat very few people understand that. Safari is a better experience, faster and way more secure. I’ve used it since before it was released.

I've heard good things about LibreWolf, been meaning to check it out. Thanks for the reminder!
