īut, I do give a damn about convenience, work flow efficiency, and cost and I actually feel that I'm getting the better end of the deal with, say, Google, because targeted ads are NOT getting thru to me often, and those ads that do get thru are having little or no effect. I am not conspiring to overthrow the government. I have not been sucked into magical / conspiracy theory thinking (at least in my reality -)). Now, in my case, I barely ever see an ad (that I do not solicit) on the internet e.g., I now avoid youtube like the plague because I don't like counting down 5 seconds to click "Skip ads". But honestly, if you keep what you want private off the Internet, and recognize that the Internet must pay for itself in the form of advertising there isn't too much to worry about. Yep, if you are scamming people, the authorities will find you and take action. Sure, if you are having an affair your husband can find out through the use of hacking or other investigative tools. They use it instead to try and sell to you information and consumer goods. Yes, Facebook and Google scrape your private info but they don't turn around and print it in the public newspaper or or write it on the bathroom walls for all to view for free. And this is really what most of the hoopla is about.

The concern with privacy is that your shopping habits, political opinions, favorite color, and other information about you is used to determine how to sell you something. So many people are scared because they are told to be scared and because it's so huge they believe it and are scared. Mainstream media, bloggers, and many long time users of the Internet have taken up the chant. from Why are so many people paranoid about privacy on the internet while using services like Google, Facebook?īecause they honestly don't understand the narrative of the issue. I keep swearing I'll never answer an "opinion" question on reddit, but I keep slipping up. So, I'm not the first rat to desert the sinking ship, but I belatedly did join them -) And, Chromebooks forced me to taste the self-forbidden fruit, and Chrome is much sweeter for what I do.īesides, Mozilla’s privacy-heavy browser is flatlining. I shunned Chrome (i.e., preferred Firefox) from roughly year 2000 thru 2021, but on my Pros/Cons table, the firefox cons just kept getting more numerous.

, twixt Firefox/Chrome), but when all is said and done, it is easier to use one browser everywhere, and that browser, for me, is Chrome). Now I use xBrowserSync to sync bookmarks, Bitwarden to sync passwords.

On Chromebooks, running any browser other than Chrome is moronic / compromising (although doable). Chromebooks+Linux is a much lower maintenance headache than Linux laptops (my old way) per years of experience with my several floating laptops in my house (given what I do which is browse and connect to my Linux desktop and server). Seriously, I did not given enuf reasons (e.g., Firefox's Google Drive support is inferior and I value good support highly)? Whatever, I'll let you goad me.Īnother reason is that love Chromebooks (at least those that can run Linux well, where I add on to get a close enuf Linux experience to that of my KDE Neon desktop and 24/7 Linux server). And I keep several Google Sheets pages in pinned tabs, and with Chrome, they always just work with Firefox, they regularly get stuck and I have to do a complete reload of the page (for me, that Firefox inadequacy was the straw that broke the camel's back).

I do also use the "Auto Tab Discard" extension to lower memory demand, and as untidy as I am with tabs, it probably helps a great deal.Īnd again, there are a number of BIG advantages of using Chrome with Docs (e.g., much easier printing, offline support, easier copy-and-paste. Chrome is supposed to be more memory greedy on Linux, but I'm not watching that too closely. On my TODO list is to try out AdNauseam to really PO Google in spite of using their many "free" services -)Īll in all, really no downsides, but you need to find the extensions that work for you best, of course.

I install the Chrome extensions "StopAll Ads", "DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials", "WebMail Ad Blocker", "Quick JavaScript Switcher", "Startpage", "Cookie AutoDelete" and a few others to mitigate privacy risks, and then I use "Startpage" as my default search engine (which is notch above DuckDuckGo IMHO and avoids the worst of the data collection). * Recently, Chrome added "Reading List" (like Firefox Pocket), so another void filled. * I missed Firefox's "Reader View", but Chrome's "Reader View" extension is just as good (and in chrome:flags, you can enable "Reader Mode" which will likely become standard (and getting competitive). I'm just as happy (ignoring the data collection) with Chrome.
