With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

          I went straight from Mozilla Navigator to Firefox 1.0.

          Tabs were such a crazy new thing back then. You would show tabbed browsing to someone (rather than opening new windows) and they thought you were a wizard. IE5 didn’t have tabs, so nerds moved to Mozilla/Firefox. Then IE6 came out but still didn’t have tabs. By the time IE7 came out, I’d had tabbed browsing for 5+ years.

      I use Firefox since it’s release. It was never bad. I don’t get all the Chrome users.

    Chrome does have a use, namely Selenium and automation.

    I’m guilty of having Chrome on my PC, as I need to nerf over my favourites to Firefox.

    Firefox is my browser of choice on my Google Pixel 7, but then again no doubt it makes little difference.

    I just choose to use a VPN, so any targeted adverts are blocked regardless of the profile built up from my browsing habits.
