I'm sure you can just Google what the benefit of using Firefox is. When "privacy" is talked about in terms of web browsers and apps, it's mainly about blocking trackers. Ad companies inject trackers into websites and apps, which collect your data. Google has their own ad company, and by using Chrome, you're supplying them with personal information without them even having to pay. Firefox doesn't sell your information. They also have many extensions available that will block any data collecting attempts from websites.
Duck Duck Go is even more secure. The whole point of their browser is for user privacy. Their app even blocks other apps from tracking you. You'd be amazed by the data collected by apps. My fucking shopping list app has trackers from multiple companies.
Yeah I could google it but sometimes I also like to converse and ask questions. Hence why we're here. Thanks for explaining, I have prior understanding of what most you mentioned, Im just hazy how it relates to browser choice since you can block with extensions on most if not all browsers. So if someone is using any chromium based browser, you info is still going to google or is that exclusive to Chrome?
Our of curiosity I checked out the Threads app and after about 20 minutes I had 35 companies try to track me over 600 times. DDG blocked it. Hell I used my webcam app and it tried to track me as well. It's ridiculous.
