Been using Chrome since summer 2008. Made the complete switch to Firefox, Firefox Focus and Librewolf last month for my household. Couldn’t be more satisfied

That makes sense! It’s a constant effort, not a one time thing, to maintain our privacy. It comes in layers. No need to focus much on my previous comment about self-hosting.

You’ve got it backwards, my dude. I’d get your data off of google’s servers. They own everything that hits their servers, including your data.

Protonmail is a solid option. Tutanota is another great second email option that I use. There are others.

If you’re even moderately techy, consider setting up a private cloud on Oracle’s servers for free in their free teir program. You can self-host your own nextcloud, with all the apps included. Edited to add, there are tutorials for this available, which is why I mention it

Agreed. On another note, what’s that screenshot from? Some news aggregator?

Super weird, mine is updated also, but I changed my account to the new one I made on this instance (dropping my Lemmy.world account because of their issues) and it works fine now!

There are literally posts from a few minutes ago when I view it with my lemmy.whynotdrs.org account that are still not there when I switch to my lemmy.world account.
