Anyone who uses anything Google makes is a fool.

Who uses chrome by choice?

A lot of people use it because it’s been the default for so long, but I’m slowly getting friends and family to swap.

OK, so ambivalence. I’m lazy, I can get behind that. Also, I appreciate the work you’re doing. I gave up years ago and am still labeled by my family as “the one who cares too much about things that don’t matter.”

I usually tie it into a discussion about password managers and show them Bitwarden too. Like with my in-laws I did a dark web scan and showed them their own passwords were basically public knowledge. Could they use it with Chrome? Sure. But they want to know they’re secure and they trust me, so I get them on Firefox with a password manager.

time to treat that firefox allergy of yall if ya want to keep adblocking.

Welcome to Firefox

The transition was a little weird for the first week, now I just use Chrome when I have to login with Google for some stupid shit. Otherwise it sits in my app drawer, because I’m definitely never logging in to a Google service while using Firefox.

YouTube is better, browsing is better, ad block works, it’s just overall a superior browser.

Why not log into a Google service while using Firefox?

Basically just don’t want to give them the ability to track my every click.
