With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

They only get money from google to be the default Engine (which you can change easily)

In terms of development and the program of Firefox itself, google has no input or say…thus Firefox still being independent

When 430 out of your 450m annual income comes from google you’d be naive to think they have no say at all. In a perfect world maybe.

Time will tell. We’ll see what firefox does when chrome drops manifest v2.

So far they don’t seem too keen on bending the knee

Brave said the same. Lets see who puts their money where their mouth is. I hope both.

Yeah that’s why I was still using brave (until now)

Honestly it’s a relief to break away from chromium
