Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

Looks like I'm finally switching to Firefox.
I reinstalled my pc and didn't install chrome. Firefox is pretty decent.
I remember going from IE to Firefox when they came out with tabs way back. We probably shouldn't have switched to chrome en masse in hindsight.
Nah, Firefox went through a buggy resource hungry slow period for sure. Chrome was miles better, I'm making the jump back. I kind of have been by default on Ubuntu, but I'll probably switch on phone too.
I've been using it on my phone for a fair bit. I still run into issues from time to time where pages don't render properly, but that could also have to do with the adblocking which is a major advantage of Firefox. I only use Chrome now if Firefox doesn't work.
I used to use Brave for years, and tried Kiwi for a fair bit too, but both of them have their own issues. I've found that Firefox works well enough for me now and allows me to stick it to the man.
