Orrrr.... don't use Google Chrome.

[–] original_reader@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago (29 children)

Agreed. I never understood why anyone goes out of their way to install Chrome.

Rant:

Why not use Edge, which comes with the OS? I'm not promoting Edge, but it's already there. If you're going to install another browser, why not use Firefox instead? Every time I ask someone why they've installed Chrome, they either don't have an answer or say something like "it looks nice".

That said, Firefox' handling of tabs is still horrible. "Go Vivaldi" on this count. Sadly it's a Chromium browser.

Using edge is probably a bigger offense than using chrome.

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I don't know they're likely getting most of the information from the OS anyway.

Installing chrome is like doubling it.
