If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now (www.fastcompany.com)

With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Using it since the last major revamp of Firefox Android on all my devices.

If you need a Chrome-like or Chromium based browser you can always try the various other versions of Chrome out there. Just about every browser that isn't FF is based on Chromium now.

There was an article posted about Brave selling some data for AI training, then there's Edge as well

Except for Epiphany on Linux! Though ive never seen anyone use it unironically. Cause Firefox is still miles ahead.

If only Firefox weren’t such a crap dev experience compared to Chrome.

I'd love to get away from Chromium based browsers. At the moment I am using Brave.

Is there any other browser that works on and syncs between: MacOS, iPhone / iPad AND Windows? It also has to have adblock capabilities on all of the devices. FireFox with uBlock Origin would be my first choice but afaik you can't block ads on iPad / iPhone on it.

Any recommendations?

I switched back when I was in college - which is strange because it came out one year after I left. I also remember having to take a class on how to use Google in my first year of college - which gives you a hint how long ago it was.

But I’m using iOS. Can I still do something to atleast increase my privacy?

Tried Chrome once and go back to Firefox... There is still some website that requires Edge or Chrome. Which one is worst in terms privacy?
