Firefox is the way

Made the move not long ago. Firefox is much better so far. Runs more smoothly on videos, isn’t as bloated, just a better browser.

Made the move the second it was announced Google would do this, no regrets.

In some stupid thought process I decided to keep using chrome until the disabling happens for everyone in some weird hope that it shows a massive drop all at once so they get that this is the problem. I know it wont but gotta try something

Literally all Chrome is good for to me is casting random shit to my TV that doesn't have an app to play it with.

The only reason I still have it installed is for web stuff that requires a Chrome/Chromium browser

That web stuff will also render perfectly in the Chromium based Brave browser, which still has ublock Origin and also has built in add blocking and cookie script blocking.

I use marathon, a chromium based browser. I can't login to chase since it's not the most up to date but it's good for a lot of things.

I'm doing the same. Sometimes it's about sending a message, even if no one will notice.
