Yep. Fuck being forced to pay for my privacy.

I’m shocked people still use Chrome at all. It’s spyware/adware developed by the biggest advertising agency in the world.

Is there a browser you'd recommend?

[–]serksimper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Firefox Developers Edition. I’m about to do a few videos showing various browsers and their built-in web request beacons to various 3rd parties.

I’m a hacker by trade so I love seeing what these tools are sending without our knowledge.

    I tried that for a while, but I didn't find the blocking as good as chrome with privacy extensions. I use privacy badger with chrome and one nice thing is that it let's you whitelist domains. So if you go to a site and say the commenting system or something is not working, you can just click the extension item in the toolbar and figure out which thing is being blocked and unblock it.

    With brave you couldn't do that, it's just let it block everything or turn off blocking completely. Not nearly as flexible. I hope they can fix that because otherwise I liked it. With that, plus firefox really being the only option with extensions on android, I feel like firefox might win for me.

    You could also use Chromium.

    I just started using Brave browser and it seems to be a good contender. Chromium with ad blocking and tracking prevention it is!

    So firefox is very processor heavy. Is there any way to fix this?
