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

It is far from ready but I am holding out a lot of hope that Ladybird will save us from this mess:

you're lying to yourself if you think mozzarella foxfire does'nt collect data. They may use it in a different way, but they still collect data. You have to jump through a bunch of config to disable their telemetry, which most users won't do.

I recently did the switch, pretty similar in terms of experience. Only thing I can point out about firefox is that chrome's page translator is faster and more efficient. I'm using the Google translate extension, if someone knows off a better one.

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?

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