This is your daily reminder that Firefox and its derivatives exist and should be used wherever possible if you care about Google not having a monopoly over the internet. There's even a Firefox-based version of Discord called Datcord.

I just uninstalled Firefox yesterday after it came out that they are collecting user data by default. If I'm going to be tracked either way, I might as well use the browser that's actually supported on sites I use so I don't have to keep ignoring the "Firefox is not supported and some features may not work" warnings 5x a day.
They probably couldn't get google drive to work without 3rd party cookies.

Do you have a source for that excus.. uehm.. claim?
I just mentioned that because google drive links are one of the very few things I'm opening in chrome - and they're the only site where I need a 3rd party cookie exemption for.
