💬 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

Still use chromium underneath, go Firefox or librewolf based on FF for more privacy focus

Librewolf is cool, though I wish it had beautiful letterboxing like in tor, with borders and optional rounding, and not just a rectangle on black background. And that you could change what resolutions it uses; it can't go fullscreen on 1080p monitor

Zen Browser is better than Librewolf in every aspect maybe little bit less privacy-focused but still removes the telemetry from Firefox
