Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

    Hope other browser developers realize chromium is a ticking time bomb. I’ve used firefox for over 15 years and see no reason to change with the current landscape of browsers being so reliant on google .

        Okay, but change to what then? All the other options are just Chrome, Safari, and Firefox again.

      Seemingly my Google pixel phone has stopped connecting to the Internet with other browsers. So I’m stuck using Google Chrome on it. 😠

        I have a pixel 5a and haven’t had that problem, currently using Fennec (firefox fork).
