Comment on It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.

  Everything the Nazis did in the Third Reich was legal. People who resisted them were breaking the law. Maybe we should evaluate things by their impact (pollution/invasion of privacy) rather than their legality.

      I like how you say that as if its impossible.

      I stopped buying things off of Amazon many years ago because they don’t respect privacy and are unethical.

        Well done. Same here.

        Now, please actively bother other people (IRL family and friend, not strangers on the internet) they must do the same.

        People here on the Fedi seem so eager to teach others what is best for them.

  If your morals and ethics hinge on legality, then I’ve got some bad news for you…

    I’m not the one making absurd comparison.

      You said, “One thing is illegal, the other is not,” which is directly equating legality with ethics/morality.

        I fail to see the lack of morality on chosing a browser over another. People use what works best for them. If for most people what works best is Chrome, well, I don’t feel there’s anything wrong in their choice. Buring tires “is wrong” regardlessly.
