The problem is that Google directly controls not only two out of every three browsers that connects to the internet, but also many web standards, a couple web frameworks, and a whole lot of funding that goes to Mozilla.
By all means, vote with your feet, but Google can basically do to the internet what Walmart did to retail.
I went from Netscape to Mozzila and from Mozilla to Firefox and, guess what… my browser never fucked me up in the name of maximizing corporate profits.
Google was already a wholly untrustworth Ad Company With A Tech Arm back when they invented Chrome, and shit like this was already back then a question of WHEN, not IF.
My recommendation is librefox and if you really want a chrome based alternative I’d suggest Thorium (although I don’t know what thorium will do when this is implemented I’m hoping they don’t follow it.)
Switching to what? Firefox. I don’t see the problem here. Install Firefox and forget those monopolistic enshitifying fucks.
But switch to what?
