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. (mastodon.world)

Seems to me that Lemmy is nothing but a Firefox promo platform these days. For weeks this is the one and only trending topic.

Lemmy is FOSS and largely used by anticapitalist tech nerds (I say this positively). Chrome is one of the most significant monopolies in tech. I don't know why you wouldn't expect this to be a common topic.

Firefox is a great browser, but the people that advocate for it can be insufferable at times.

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.
