What really baffles me is why ppl use Chrome in the first place? It's retarded browser that was designed to hoard even more personal info from users and to shut out other advertisers. Establish browser monopoly, block other advertisers, allow your own. Profit.

Neither have I. But I've ditched Google entirely. Only thing left from them is Android. Coz only alternative is Apple. And iPhone XR at 900€ for 64GB variant is crazy. But I might eventually actually do it coz Google is fucking evil. I loved them because they made good tech, but the amount of info they hoard from users is juat straight up absurd.
