Irony is that this article is hosted on a page overrun by ads

On mobile I only see 8 ads between the text. Not really annoying like sticky ads. If the rest of the Internet would be like this it would acceptable for me.

Most of the time the internet is more like fandom sticky ads bottom and top that plays videos or x that are so small that you click on the ads.

I've noticed that Chrome logs me out of the Google account a lot due to an error. It is really annoying. Could it be because I have uBlock installed?

Is there a good alternative to uBlock in Chrome? Sadly I’m obliged to use it for aspects of my job.

Firefox is looking more appealing now.

I've been using Firefox mainly, for A few years, since Google started earnestly talking about removing support for manifest V3.

I only use Chrome for compatibility reasons. Than I switch back over to Firefox.

Challenges are separating myself from the synchronized data universe that is the Google ecosystem. Passwords etc.

Definitely possible. Definitely worthwhile to retain control over my time.

Firefox is a attempt to placate the original citizens of the web whos tools subvert the add surveillance industry .Google is clever enough to know how full blown antagonism to developers ends up. Oh and monopoly laws.

It was always the correct option, it's a shame it's taken people like yourself so long to get the memo.

It's a shame Firefox sold it's homepage to promote a shitty race-dividing movie, claim social activism, and has forever lost its reputation.

We don't trust google, but it never lied. Firefox lied.
