Time to stop using Chrome (arstechnica.com)
submitted 1 year ago by Owl@hexbear.net to c/technology@hexbear.net

Google is now rolling out a system where Chrome directly tracks your activity and shares its summary with advertisers.

Also Firefox is faster as of like two months ago.

It takes five minutes to switch browsers, and the difference is so little that you'll often forget you did it.

i just got a new laptop and it came with firefox installed on it, but i couldn't really figure out its features. on chrome i like having different profiles with their own histories, bookmarks, appearances, accounts/passwords, etc.. I couldn't work that out in firefox.

I've seen lots of people say it's an easy switch, but my ass could not do it sad-boi

All you need should just be in about:profiles, but it's definitely not as intuitive as on Chrome unfortunately yeah

Ok sweet, I’ll give it another go tonight with that tip. Tyvm

Would containers work for you? They don't separate bookmarks, but everything else would work like a profile. It says you need an addon but I'm pretty sure you don't anymore because I don't have it.
