With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.
You're viewing a single thread.
I love Firefox, been ride or die since I started. Chrome is just pure Spyware.
one of the main reasons i switched to firefox years ago was chrome's telemetry/studies service lol.
it kept randomly starting while i was playing gemes (even with chrome closed!) and consuming 100% of my cpu for over a minute.
deleting the telemetry executable (it's also included in some chromium browsers, but it's usually not aggressive as in chrome) solves this but it usually just comes back with a chrome update.Yeah, chrome is genuinely disgusting in terms of blatant privacy violations. They aren't there as a browser, they're there to collect and sell as much data as they possibly can, updates are just an excuse to "accidentally reset" privacy settings.
Watch out for Windows doing the same.
I use linux on some machines, and everything else (like my main gaming rig) has debloated windows.
