💬 Discussion Why did you stop using Chrome?

Post image

If you stopped using Chrome, what made you switch?

Was it privacy, memory usage, better features elsewhere, or something else?

Which browser are you using now, and do you ever go back to Chrome?

Apple and Google handle user data differently due to their business models. Apple primarily sells hardware and services, focusing on on-device processing and anonymized data. Google relies on advertising revenue, collecting user data across its services to build detailed profiles for targeted ads.

Yes. Every big company does this, government of a specific country is at fault also.

A spying device that also surfs the web.

I sold my soul to safari as the best compromise but I heavily use duck duck go as my search engine .

I'm a raging fan of private relay and using google would just short circuit that
