    New features like logging every website you go to, basing ads off that, and requiring a login to open an incognito window…

    I’ve been a long term user of Chrome. Ever since it was released really. But the whole DRM thing is alarming and last month I migrated back to Firefox. It also led me to migrating my emails to somewhere else. I’m now looking at other services but wow does it make you realise just how much I rely on Google. Partially with an android phone.

    Oh I also switched to duckduckgo from Google and can’t see a downgrade in search results.

      mix-up the ui a bit so users don’t notice them building search into the browser ui and out of the reach of tracker and ad blockers. same idea as edge’s default start page that’s basically a mirror of msn, except you can’t block ads on it because it’s baked-in.

      Then manually transfer them to something better like bitwarden or keypass if you want to use it that bad.

          Then use the one that’s built into Firefox that syncs across devices.

            I need to look into this for sure. I thought it only worked with their solution which syncs across devices but it also kind sucks. Thanks!

              Yeah nah, I use Bitwarden on my windows desktop, Android phone, and my iPad. It all syncs perfectly.

      Consider switching to Bitwarden for password management. It works on every platform I’ve used and is open source and free.
