I mean, they are different so it is totally possible for someone to like one over the other, and that’s aside from the very simple reason of being used to it and/or not wanting to copy everything over like, passwords, payment methods, bookmarks, extensions (most important reason for me), etc.
I honestly just keep think I’ll eventually switch permanently when Google forces me to. It’s the same reason I’m here; reddit forced my hand. I’m equally waiting for Microsoft to force me to switch to Linux.
Also, typing that out, I do realize this isn’t a great mentality to have (I’m being forced to do x) but maybe that’s just the result of building my castle in foreign kingdoms. It’s basically damage control out here! lol
If you aren’t motivated at this point to switch to Firefox (or at least away from Chrome) then you never will be. I just don’t understand man. I really don’t.
I mean, would there really be a difference in the data they’re collecting on me, assuming that’s your main concern?
I use an android phone which includes: android pay, youtube music/premium, maps and whatnot. Trying to keep my most sensitive data out of their hands honestly seems impossible at this point. I guess I just don’t really see the benefit. That said, blocking ads would of course be significant enough of an issue for me to make a change. But, as of earlier in the week, everything still worked fine (I think)
Really tho, I barely use my PC to browse the web for fun anymore - just the odd gaming sesh and the Plex server for mom. It’s kinda depressing to think about, tbh
I can only assume that firefox on andoid OS (set up properly) collects less data about your browsing history vs. Chrome on android OS. So I’d say you would at least be giving less browsing data to Google. But in this case I just cannot imagine browsing the web without a fully functional ublock origin. I get that it still works on Chrome, but it won’t soon.
Well for ads I use DNS66. It works pretty well and even blocks ads in most apps and games. It basically makes some free apps feel like the premium version

Have you ever tried using a pihole? That works very well too.
