    I dont think I can take that article seriously when they recommend Chromium with uBlock as an alternative 💀

      I mean, agreed, but Chromium and Chrome are different. Just in case you thought they are the same, wasn’t exactly clear to me. But I also might remember wrong, in my memory Chromium is the base for Chrome and has a lot less Google stuff baked in.

        I’m aware that they’re different. Chromium is a much better option that Chrome, but not a good option for privacy. If you like Chromium, try UnGoogled Chromium!

      What is wrong with Chromium with uBlock origin? I was a Brave user then after all their controversies I moved on to Chromium. I use FF primarily though, only Chromium for websites that have issues

        Chromium bundles a lot of google telemetry into it, even though it is the open source base of Chrome. Ungoogled Chromium is a recommendation that’s actually private. I also only use Chromium for websites that have issues.
