Google has rolled out "Privacy Sandbox," a Chrome feature first announced back in 2019 that, among other things, exchanges third-party cookies—the most common form of tracking technology—for what the company is now calling "Topics." Topics is a response to pushback against Google’s proposed...

      Unfortunately, on Android, Chromium based browsers are SIGNIFICANTLY more secure than any other browser framework. I recommend Mulch and Cromite.

      Again, this is ANDROID specific. Everywhere else, I use FF based browsers.

        You can’t just say that FF on Android is less secure and not give any sources for that claim.

        I mean, you can, but that makes your claim not have any value.

      Agreed. I never understood why anyone goes out of their way to install Chrome.

      Rant:

      Why not use Edge, which comes with the OS? I’m not promoting Edge, but it’s already there. If you’re going to install another browser, why not use Firefox instead? Every time I ask someone why they’ve installed Chrome, they either don’t have an answer or say something like “it looks nice”.

      That said, Firefox’ handling of tabs is still horrible. “Go Vivaldi” on this count. Sadly it’s a Chromium browser.

        Idk what people have about chromium tabs. Firefox does tabs just fine.

        Also, edge does not come with most os, just w*ndows
