Firefox kept the fire burning but Chrome is what stirred Microsoft into action.
Chrome is creepy privacy invading software designed to help maintain Googles search monopoly.
Like Search, Chrome's quality is the honey and we are the flies.
- Karunamon 9y agoYou say "creepy privacy invading", I say hooked up to the only search engine worth a damn and providing trivially disabled features that actually save me time and pain.
- newscracker 9y agoIf you start using DuckDuckGo for your searches, you can use different commands for different search platforms if you find the DDG results lacking (which I do many a times, depending on the topic/context). For example, !s would search Startpage [1] (a search engine that claims not to track but uses Google search internally), !g would search Google, !w would search Wikipedia, and so on. It takes maybe a few more seconds, but offers a lot of flexibility. [1]: https://www.startpage.com https://www.startpage.com
