Most people here have a device in their pocket with either Google hardware or Google software. If even the nerds with a passion against ads can’t not buy something from the biggest ad company, who can?
Google isn’t tech. Google is ads. A real garbage company.

If you use anything Google, you are the product. This has been pretty obvious since the early 2000’s, yet people dive right into all the crap they release.
Google’s core business is selling ads. So anything that aligns with selling ads is the path they’ll take. Their users are the product.
With the direction FF is taking it’s gonna be forks for now.
The only thing that held me back from using LibreWolf over Firefox was that it disabled (automatic) dark mode on websites. I understand this is part of the “resist fingerprinting” configuration. There’s a workaround now ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1732114).
In about:config update these 3 preferences:
People don’t hate Google as much as they should. It’s cringeworthy how much they promote this ad company on this platform. They don’t even realze themselves they got comprised.
No, only Google has backdoors that are coming to light tome after time. Stop defending them Google ad fan boi.
Google fan boy. Good luck promoting that shitty ad company.
You’re too smart for this site. I too love taking trains across both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans!
Are they selling snap beans?
MS 2 decades late to Google’s ad game.
Gotta keep that rage up.
Or anything Google for that matter. I see a lot of praise on Lemmy for their Pixel phones, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they eventually find there was a backdoor in their firmware all this time. Yes of course, I can not prove that right now, but this news about Google Chrome isn’t news for no reason. Don’t trust anything Google if you care about privacy, it is literally their business model (selling targeted ads).
That sounds suspiciously similar to the kind of gatekeeping Apple is doing.
That’s pretty optimistic, as tons of power users are still eating that Windows crap, too.
