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.

Yeah, I’m using it and have been using it for 17+ years. Use a sanitized chromium installation for the precious few sites that genuinely don’t work in Firefox (I’m in China, there are a few of those). But the advocacy is annoying AF.
Seems to me that Lemmy is nothing but a Firefox promo platform these days. For weeks this is the one and only trending topic.
Firefox is a great browser, but the people that advocate for it can be insufferable at times.
