It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. (mastodon.world)

I've used Firefox for years. It's always been the underdog imo.

If it ever becomes the top dog, I'll switch! To the next privacy underdog. More competition is good.

At one point it was the top dog - this was before google was even in the browser market mind you. Then they entered and used a lot of... Shall we say interesting marketing practices to usurp firefoxes dominant position - it wasn't all due to chrome being better.
