For the overwhelming majority of users, they won't know the difference between using the two. People here are on a high inhaling the air in this echo chamber.
I've used Chrome on every device imaginable since Chrome was a thing. I've had a negligible amount of problems, in all my years. I absolutely hate that Google shuts services down when they get bored. And I absolutely hate what they did with Google Music and Google Chats, and Domains.
I move off Google services when they shut down. Besides that, I've no problems with the ones I use (minus nitpicks and the above products).
So to anyone here feeling bad and are afraid to comment on here because they don't want to lose Internet points, fret not. There are millions of us perfectly satisfied using Google, PAYING for their services where we see fit, and generally not worrying at all about any of this.
What about the ad blocker changes they’re making? That’s pretty much the line for me. I use chrome everywhere but when ublock stops working well that’ll be me jumping ship. The web is a fucking unreadable cesspool without a solid adblocker running.
The adblock changes is a shit stain, absolutely agree with you there.
For my household, personally, it won't make a difference because I have a pihole blocking everything from all devices. So that change isn't enough to persuade me to make a move.
But yes, anyone who doesn't have pihole of and uses adblockers, it will be 100% understandable for them to jump ship.
