The amount of people I see on Lemmy saying “Ugh Google is so bad with all their Chrome shenanigans! I install Brave on my own and all my family’s computers!” is honestly heartbreaking 🤦♂️
Between this and Chrome pushing their DRM bullshit to stop adblocking in Chromium based browsers, it's a fine time to get everybody to switch to Firefox (which is a better browser anyways).
