The Chrome browser exists to show you ads and track where you go so that Google can show you more ads. Please stop using Chrome. Firefox is open source, and while Mozilla is not perfect, it isn’t actively fucking evil the way Google is. It has a bazillion plugins, including various (FREE!) ad block plugins (I recommend uBlock Origins, which will even block YouTube ads – you can watch videos without interruptions again!). It will also function very effectively with a lot more tabs open than Chrome. I’ve got around 800 tabs open right now (not loaded, of course, except for maybe 2 dozen; it’s been a heavy browsing day), and my wife has between 2k and 3k at any time.
We are in the New Browser Wars. This time there’s a helluva lot of money up for grabs, because a lot of it is about running those ads. Monopolies are bad for consumers.
Just go download Firefox.
also, google is slowly gaining a monopoly on the competing browser engines. loads of browsers are based on chrome (the new edge, brave, opera, yandex, and samsung internet to name a few). it’s become such a majority problem that some lazy web developers don’t make sure their sites also work on other browser engines like gecko (firefox) or webkit (safari). google has even been caught making their sites (like youtube and google docs) slow to unusable on safari.
if you’re on windows, download firefox. if you’re on a mac, also download firefox (or give safari a try. it’s sleek, fast, and battery efficient)
google chrome is not your friend; it can, have, and will abuse it’s power and monopoly and privacy absues on the internet.
(addendum: i don’t super mind things like electron or nwjs because that’s an integrated app thing, though it’d be cool to see someone do something like that with webkit or gecko.)
YES!
What do ypu suggest for mobile users because firefox was unuseably slow when I downloaded it and tried it.
