Chrome hasn't worked for months on our network due to this and was removed recently with the latest updates last week

And mine is making the switch from Firefox to Chrome next year. I'm so fucking mad about it.

Respect.

It'd make the world a better place, but a big company would make slightly less money, therefore it's unthinkable to even attempt it.

So this means that the internet could have always worked fine without invasive cookies and everything they told us about it being impossible was just a lie.

Their idea is that is hides all the user info from advertising companies. Downside is your browser is an ad slot machine.

Which is best?

Tracked or ad machine?

I'm more surprised people aren't talking about the fact that since it's running on the client side, someone would just figure out a way to hack and block all the ads even easier.

You're thinking about it the wrong way. How does this directly and noticably harm the user experience of the average user of chrome? If it doesn't then there's no incentive for them to switch.

Not everyone knows about this kind of thing or cares. Firefox has to be significantly better in obvious ways and market that to grow their market share.

This is the Internet Explorer of forums.

Just Chrome in this instance, as it spies for Google. Any anti ad blocking features go though to all chromium based browsers and it is better to switch Firefox. If that browser disappears we won't have a good alternative anymore.

Just Chrome

I’ve been using it as my main search engine for around a year now. I accidentally used google today to look up “best screwdriver sets” and the results were all ads instead of results with screwdriver set reviews. I put the same thing in DuckDuckGo and immediately got relevant results.

Are you serious? You can't be compassionate toward people who use a certain browser? It's probably because they don't understand/know/care. 🤷‍♂️ Educate them.
