      “I’ve started disabling chrome” 

      “I’ve switched to Firefox”  

      “Enshittification”

      Don’t get me wrong, it’s a shitty situation, but the comments on these posts are always so predicable

      Good to know. Does anyone have any alternatives while staying on chrome?

      Reminder that there are three browsers.

      Firefox, Chromium, and Safari*.

      Everything else either builds off Firefox (uncommon), or Chromium (extremely common, including Edge for example).

      The only sane alternative for non-Apple devices is to switch to Firefox.

      * Exclusive to Apple devices

      EDIT: Since this post seems to be blowing up, why not let you in on how to replace Google Sync features to be able to stop relying on the browser for them, and possibly enable you to move to Firefox easier – or vice versa, it enables easy browser switchover in general.

      * Bookmarks + Tab sync -> floccus – https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus
      * Passwords -> Any password manager, KeePassXC is a solid choice. If your PM uses a local database like KPXC does, you also need a cloud synchronizing solution of your choice for the database.
      * Extension autoinstall -> Enterprise policies. This one is a bit annoying to set up, but it is an option if installing extensions manually is too much trouble for you.

      I dumped Chrome years ago when it was pushing my MacBook Pro to swap memory for no damn reason.

      I’ve been using Firefox since forever. I’m also still using old reddit… I’m a boomer.

      Anyone that was conscious enough in the first place to install ublock origin will see this move by Google as detrimental to their internet experience. This will only push these people to ditch chrome and adopt a new web browser. I hope Mozilla can monetize this influx of new users.

      I only use Chrome for Chromecast. Are there any other options to cast to a tv? I haven’t found any that are great.

      Sucks. There is uBlock Origin Lite if you still use Chrome, but it’s not as capable.

      If you move to Firefox, you can keep uBlock Origin.

      Curious if he will finally develop for safari, since safari still support regular Adblockers

      Google already makes money off You & I through data collection, regardless whether or not you watch ads or not. So be sure to switch browsers and use Adblock.

      I’d like to switch, but my fear is that Google will eventually force you to use Chrome if you want access to their other app like Google Docs and Drive.

      But at this point, I’m open to alternatives.

      I’ve been using Brave for like the last 5 years. Anyone still using Chrome or Google products in general is just asking for Big-Brother tech tactics like this

      Everyone is screaming “Use Firefox” but any time I used it it was just flat slower than chromium and takes up the same or more RAM, especially when watching videos. Has any of that been fixed?

      In many corporations Chrome is default browser and unlock origins default security tool for that browser.

      I had Chrome installed as a backup, uninstalled it and put in the survey it is due to their migration to manifest 3.0 killing adblock extensions. Hopefully enough people do this.

      I really didn’t want to switch to Firefox, nothing against it but Chrome was more convenient.

      But I’m on Firefox now baby!

      I’ve also found Google’s search results to be so shitty I’m trying out Bing. Me from 6 years ago would be staggered at that thought, Bing was a joke and the idea of using it offended me.

      Now, I’m using fucking Bing because Google has enshitified its results so much. And also lately Google has decided that using a VPN is a sin against the holy ad revenue so it must be punished by forcing me to solve twenty captchas for every search.
