I’m glad I’m in a position to basically never have to touch a chrome or chrome derivative for my work. It was a necessary evil to finally kill internet explorer, but these days it’s just hostile to its users.

I've been using Firefox since somewhere around 2008, it's been a dream the whole time.
Highly recommended
Tiny devils advocate, IF we can make it so ONLY Google can spy on us and ~~malware~~ adware can NOT spy on us would be an “improvement”. Google is a lot easier to target with regulation and stuff.
That said, I wouldn’t touch Google with a 10 foot pole.

Thanks for the reminder. I've switched to Firefox on my mac and iphone for personal use. I just need to move some web development stuff around so I can switch to Firefox on that too. I may even uninstall google chrome, but for now I've just taken it off the task bar.

I came back to firefox after vivaldi and edge when google announced manifestv3, decided to do it already since they would at best delay it instead of canceling it, and that's exactly what they did.
