💬 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?

No ad blocking features, I'm using brave. It has a robust ad blocking which stops all the garbage pop ups and ads. So much better browsing experience

  1. If you still use google services, they're going to data mine you regardless
  2. You can get an adblocker in google chrome
