> I migrated off Chrome as soon as this BS story about improving privacy

What are you using instead?

This is the most important question. What's the best practice? Firefox? Something else?

  • If you're looking to move away from Chrome, Firefox + uBlock Origin is still your best bet IMO. Mozilla's committed to keeping the robust ad-blocking capabilities alive despite Google's changes.

    Brave is decent too if you want something Chromium-based but more privacy-focused (comes with minor controversies).

    Safari works well if you're in the Apple ecosystem.

    I actually run a dual-browser setup these days - Firefox for most browsing, and only fire up Brave for those annoying sites that Google has mysteriously "optimized" to run poorly elsewhere. Not ideal but gets the job done!

    • Librewolf is also pretty good, better privacy than Firefox. If you using firefox, might as well just use that instead.
