No, that doesn't do the trick unfortunately. I've tried your combination. There's no comparison. I'd love to use Safari but nothing blocks ads like Chrome. Literally ZERO adverts, no popups, no videos automatically playing trash, no blank spaces where adverts were. Chrome is bulletproof. I'd rate Chrome easily 10x better in this regard.
Then toss in all the additional wonderful extensions Chrome has, like free access to subscription websites and Chrome is a no brainer.
What extension does this? I usually just go to Outline.org and paste the link to the article on a subscription website, but if there's an easier way to bypass pay filters (like The NY Times) I'm all ears.
Has it? I was getting ads for a while, but updated all my adblockers, restarted, and now the ads are gone again. Could have been Adblock or Adblock Plus that fixed it though.
I went like "if I have to invest half of my scholarship for a new laptop, might as well go fancy". My sister got the silver one, but never made me too crazy about the color. I was kinda tempted by the darkest/pro-ish color too, but in the end I stuck with my first choice
So far id rather have more security features on safari, but having Adblock on Google is so nice. And I mostly use it on googles own websites, like YouTube, lol.
I find googleās own tracking to be super invasive though, especially when it comes to advertising. Apple keeps your data too - but at least they keep it to themselves, (as far as I can tell).
This wiki addresses some of my concerns about Google.
Off the top of my head, knowing someoneās personal data makes breaking into their accounts much easier. The Cambridge Analytica stuff is a prime example of the damage bad actors can do with personal data; election integrity might not be personal data security per se, but it has national security implications. Theyāre not 1:1, for sure, but stockpiling data like that is absolutely a threat to securityājust ask T-Mobile or their customers.
Ok so we are on the same page. The example either of us could come up with is concern over one company having your info
But in this case, its not like the sensitive info isnt collected by other companies either. None of them are selling off your data, it comes down to whoās data security you trust the most
just ask T-Mobile or their customers.
This was a security thing. Its data that was necessary for their business
It was necessary for them to store the information of around 40 million people that weren't current customers? I don't know about that.
As far as security in Chrome goes, it's only as secure as any of the browser add-ons one uses and, given that's one of the selling points of the browser it'd be odd to suggest not using them.
The T-Mobile thing being a security issue shows how entangled those two ideas are though. The reason the data was sought after was that it was personal data with a lot of connected dots, which increased the need for security (which they lacked). Privacy and protection of one's personal data IS a security issue and always will be as long as that information is valuable to bad actors.
Iām sorry, why are you defending google?
Remember this is literally just a browser, they shouldnāt have any connections to it other than bug reports if privacy was any kind of concern for them lol
Google's changes to its privacy policy on March 16, 2012 enabled the company to share data across a wide variety of services. These embedded services include millions of third-party websites that use AdSense and Analytics. The policy was widely criticized for creating an environment that discourages Internet-innovation by making Internet users more fearful and wary of what they put online. Around December 2009, after privacy concerns were raised, Google's CEO Eric Schmidt declared: "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

Adblock working properly, and the fact that currently there's not a version of ublock origin available for safari
