I hope **chrome **fails terribly. Just like Internet Explorer(IE). Firefox all the way
Anyone still using Google products is a fuckin idiot, IMO
There are hardly any alternatives for people who don't have the time to self-host and setup everything.
"Oh but Firefox!" the tools that Mozilla provides are indeed good - but there's no Mozilla Photos, Mozilla Notes, Mozilla Assistant, and so on.
"Oh but Microsoft!" and why would that be better than Google?
"Oh but mix Firefox with Proton and this specific GitHub project for photo management and this FOSS notes apps with a Docker backend for sync and thi-" I wish I had the time to do that, truly, I actually prefer many of the FOSS alternatives I've seen lately. I do not have the time nor hardware to do this correctly.
It’s a hard fight between all the time maintaining your own stuff takes and the utter resistance by other users who just won’t learn anything new or use any real security.
