So my takeaway from this is to never use Chrome again? Gotcha.

If everyone who said they were going to do this actually did this, Chrome wouldn't do this, if that makes sense.

Or, idk, regulators could like, do their jobs.

Unfortunately, if the government had one single source to secretly control/monitor the world wide web from then they would gladly stand back and do nothing.

Having said that, I truly hope I'm wrong. And they are probably already doing what I described upstream from the browser anyways.

It’s really irritating but some websites only work on Chrome for me. They range from work related to Google Meet instances. I only use it then but yeah.

Have never had an issue with degoogled chromium not working on any sites that don't work with Firefox.

I don't think I've used Google Chrome itself for over 3 years now (excluding on other people's devices). I don't plan to ever use it again either.

At one point I was switching back and forth, because I'd see a general decline in Firefox for some reason. I don't know if it was just getting overloaded with extensions that were hitting its performance or if my machine itself was having problems or if Firefox's performance was shit for awhile, but I'd switch from Firefox to Chrome, try going back to Firefox, then back to Chrome, but I've been with Firefox for a good few years now without issue. The browser "market" is even crowded now, there's no reason to go back to Chrome, since there's so many other choices out there (though avoiding Chromium might be a little bit trickier).
