Or you could just use Chromium.
- JoshMnem 8y agoChromium has many of the same problems as Chrome. I don't think Google can be trusted to not abuse their position any more.
- noir_lord 8y agoI wonder how far they can push it before one of the larger more open distro's just goes "yep, that was far as you are going" and we end up with the Chromed Ice Weasel.
- _red 8y agoWell there is already vivaldi, iridium, and ungoogled-chromium. But a better choice, IMO, is to install Brave since they are not just removing spy-features, but enabling new ideas to incentivize support for a more privacy focused internet.
- JoshMnem 8y agoThe ad model is fundamentally broken, because all roads there eventually lead to tracking and online garbage. Monocultures are bad, so I don't think people should only use Chrome-based browsers. Google once tried to do ads without going down the wrong path, but that clearly hasn't worked out. I think that Firefox Quantum is a better alternative.
- yuhong 8y agoYea, that was what my essay/overview was about, including tracing these problems back to Larry/Sergey. It is probably worth posting a link here: http://yuhongbao.blogspot.com/2018/09/google-doubleclick-mozilla-overview_92.html http://yuhongbao.blogspot.com/2018/09/google-doubleclick-moz...
- matheusmoreira 8y agoHow effective is ungoogled-chromium at removing Google from the browser?
- 18pfsmt 8y agoHave you looked at this project? https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium
- JoshMnem 8y agoI've seen it, but Chromium is fundamentally a Google product and it still has some of Chrome's problems. If we want future generations to experience technology freedom, we should avoid monocultures.
- sincerely 8y agoThat has the same issue as Waterfox and other projects where you lose out on quick fixes for discovered exploits.
- pymai 8y agothere are other chromium based browsers like vivaldi and brave that might disable a lot of the google crap but i couldn't be certain of the top of my head
- binomialxenon 8y agoI'd rather non-Chrome browsers such as Firefox and Safari keep some market share so we don't end up with too many "Only works in Chrome" webistes.
