Yes. The browser innocently gives away tons of information for surveillance capitalism corporations to leech.
It is a if the web and browser developers lived in an innocent world
- chgs 2y agoThe largest browser is owned by a surveillance firm
- NemoNobody 2y agoWhy anyone would use Chrome blows my mind a bit. Brave is a superior browser in every single aspect of a browser and as of rn - you do not see ads on the Internet. It's such a no brainer, I can't comprehend it.
- maztaim 2y agoAre you OK with Brave using Chromium as their base?
- acheron 2y agoBrave is still Chrome, you’re just kidding yourself.
- Scottn1 2y agoBecause Brave is just trying to build their own ad-network under the guise of being "privacy" oriented. It is a conflict of interest trying to get profitable selling user data while also claiming to block it. When first installed the their own ad and crypto stuff is enabled-by-default. Then throw in a few nefarious incidents, such as the affiliate link-hijacks a few years ago, and it is hard to trust them. No browser is safe from capitalistic rot at this point.
- AlchemistCamp 2y agoAds in and of themselves don't mean a browser isn't privacy-focused. In fact the most privacy focused one I can think of, Duckduckgo, is monetized by ads. All of Duckduckgo is. They're just not personalized.
- lazyeye 2y agoI use Ungoogled Chromium (download from Github) that has all the tracking code removed. Only downside is updates are not automatic but otherwise runs flawlessly.
- create-username 2y agoYes but chrome has not created new user tracking standards. Every web browser leaks a lot of information
