It gets my goat that people think it’s a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:

  1. It’s run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
  2. It has ads right out of the box.
  3. It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
  4. They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.

    1. it’s fucking Chromium

    Go use some Firefox-derivative like Librewolf or Fennec, like a sane person.

      Yeah, this is important. Fuck Google. I will only ever use a chromium browser if I have to for work or for a misbehaving website.

        I will reject the misbehaving website rather than resort to using Chromium.

          Occasionally though, life requires using a shit website. I do avoid it if possible though

            Your attitude is very reasonable. I strive to be as unreasonable as I can.

            reference

            “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” ― George Bernard Shaw
