Lol who is even using chrome still?

Edit: Yes guys I know, I am aware of the borderline monopoly Google has had on the browser space. My question should have been: Who is tech savvy and is using Google Chrome voluntarily?

I bet those numbers are inflated by work and school computers forcing it down your throat.

    They install it on my work laptop without my saying so. I uninstall it every time, and until they explicitly ask me to use it, I’m sticking with Firefox.

    Ayy what's up twin.

    "Oh our portals are only certified for Chrome. Firefox won't work."

    I beg to differ.

    Chrome's last genuine use died Aug 2024 when Puppeteer started supporting Firefox.

    The people willingly using a Google browser get what they get. This is a shining example of personal accountability.

    Why the fuck is anyone still using chrome? Or windows for that matter. If it’s a work computer, whatever, I get it, but get that shit off of your personal devices.

    It's your laptop? You need to try not installing chrome on your own devices.

    Awe dang. I have a theory that the more we push away their data centers they will recoup it one cpu\gpu at a time at the user-end. This is testing that feasibility.

    Let's say I tried to show this to my brother in an attempt to make the boy degoogle and he went "Nah, I'm not a gigabite hoarder, they can have the 4 gigas."

    They called it weights.bin? That is trojan level of skullduggery.

    But don't worry, the model isn't used for any browser features users actually use, so it's just Google wasting petabytes of bandwidth to service a fraction of a percent of its userbase.

    If not chrome, what is a good browser to use nowadays? I like Firefox but the last year I keep bumping in to websites that don't work so we'll on Firefox. Mostly web apps. So then what is left?

    Vivaldi is a productivity dream. Unfortunately it's built on chromium so it's not a complete break but it absolutely leaves every other browser in the dust in terms of how good it is. One of its best features is the ability to limit how much ram and CPU the browser as a whole uses or just certain sites. The amount of features it has is insane. Page tiling is my favourite one
