It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.

Given Google's overwhelming presence in the browser market, this is unconscionable. We should all despise the ad-tech business, and have no sympathy for the companies getting whacked by Google's actions. But we should not permit one monopolist to replace them all. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/12/year-review-googles-corporate-paternalism-browser

        hardly any issues here, either. and we abuse tf out of firefox… 300+ tabs? stay open for days on end? multiple addons? on c2d-era desktops? no problem.

      I haven’t seen that happen in possibly two years, let alone regularly.

      I use Firefox all day on both Mac and Windows and this rarely happens. It does seem to happen on Linux for me sometimes though.
