It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. Given Google's overwhelming presence in the browser market, this is unconscionable. We should all despise the ad-tech business, and have no sympathy for the companies getting whacked by Google's actions. But we should not permit one monopolist to replace them all. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/12/year-review-googles-corporate-paternalism-browser

    Well of course. Now all your traffic goes through proxies to Google’s servers for analytics.

    100℅ data harvesting.

    Genius move by Google. Even calls it a security/privacy measure!

    They will succeed too. Most of the human race are Neanderthals anyway. Couldn’t care less.

    Seems to me that Lemmy is nothing but a Firefox promo platform these days. For weeks this is the one and only trending topic.
