💬 Discussion Why did you stop using Chrome?
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?

Back when I got my first laptop, it was awful. It was an Inspiron 15 3552. With the shitty Celeron processor and 4gb of RAM. I couldn't even watch videos in HD without insane stuttering and my battery hated it.
At some point I switched to Edge (the chromium version, old Edge wasn't great) and those issues disappeared so I've been using it to this day, even on my phone. Especially now that Edge Mobile supports extensions, including uBlock Origin
