There’s no reason you should be using Chrome. Using Chrome:
Means you consent to spyware (along with everyone else you interact with)
Allows Google to continue dictating web standards
Is a resource hog
If you haven’t already, I highly recommend reading this comic about the dangers of Chrome: https://contrachrome.com/
If you need to absolutely use a Chromium-based browser, at least use Brave (just for that site).
Not-so-fun fact from the comic Contra Chrome: Google Chrome’s URL bar is called the “omnibox.” The name is derived from the Latin word “omnis,” meaning “everything.”
When you type into the omnibox, it’s sent to Google’s servers and added to your profile forever.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

Or use Chromium. It’s an open source version of chrome. Chromium does not include user tracking and you avoid all the google telemetry bullshit
Outta the box, I’m taking Brave over Chromium. Brave is lighter, has content blockers, and has other privacy features enabled by default.
Outta the box, Brave is a cryptobro nightmare, I’m gonna pass and use Vivaldi.
You can disable all the wallet stuff though. It’s not enforced.
Oh no not the Latin word for everything!
That’s why I’m vegan, those damn omnivores just sound so villainous.
