It used to be a user friendly lightweight browser.

Now it’s hardly recognizable from its launch. It’s heavy bloated and slurps up user data into invasive user profiles.

Those individual user profiles are rolled up into buckets of collective thoughts ripe for analysis and manipulation.

Can I get this group of people to buy my product? To read my book? To vote the way I want them to? To pay attention to this national issue? To ignore that one?

If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now by quickpen in c/technology@lemmy.world

Firefox has dark mode.

If people use it and they don't post or comment, it could go dark by quickpen in c/memes@lemmy.ml

But my email is a Fastmail masked email, it’s randomly generated l, so it might look fake as well ¯_(ツ)_/¯
