With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.
Most people aren’t concerned about privacy outside of places like here and Reddit.
With Chrome killing ad blocking, they’ll quickly care
I use Vivaldi, which isn’t perfect, but I need tab grouping in some form. Firefox’s solutions for tab groups are meh at best
How about Brave? Not a big fan of Chrome but a long term Brave user I am. Filters a lot of things out.
I have been using Brave on both Linux and mobile for a while now. It seems to work fine as a backup browser for casual browsing. For more private browsing, I prefer Firefox forks.
Also, the recently Brave Origin (Nightly) was released. It’s the same Brave browser that now has own telemetry (crypto, Leo AI, etc.) removed. It’s free for Linux users and costs 59.99$ to buy for mobile and Win / Mac etc. users.
You can use a terminal browser a la lynks2 or w3m
I only ever tried Chrome on school computers but it was useless, always kept crashing.

You’re getting downvoted for an opinion, but I’m upvoting you because I actually want to know the downsides of switching, because I’m considering it myself. Is there any truth to what you’re saying, or do people just not like you saying something bad about firefox? I don’t mind downsides to switching, I’d just like to be aware of them first so I don’t get surprised and frustrated.

The way it’s seeming after reading some of these replies is I may end up just having both browsers installed and swapping depending on what I wanna do… Not ideal, but I think it’d be better than all Chrome all the time. Thanks so much for the info

My guess would be that calling it a weird buggy mess that freezes all the time does not line up with most people’s experience.
I’ve been using Firefox since before it was Firefox and have no idea what he’s talking about.

I’ve been a Firefox user for ages on all my devices and I have no idea what you’re talking about
