    Chrome tabs are scary - unlike our sponsors:

    Firefox. Firefox is a free and open source web browser that is not just nice to your RAM, making it run smoothly alongside games or on older machines, but also respects your privacy.
    Unlike Chrome, it doesn’t track every move you make online and it’s not only more customizable, it also doesn’t threaten ad-blockers and the free web in general. Check out Firefox with the link below!

        I did the same! I’m now given to understand that that was Google’s goal with Chrome - make the easiest-to-use and most lightweight browser to bring everyone in, then ramp up the trackers and bloat. I think I need to export my bookmarks and look into Firefox again…

        • You Should. Firefox has gotten so much Better. Not to mention all the literal BULLSHIT Google has done and will be doing with their browser.

          The way Chrome works now, every tab is its own instance. Firefox, each window is its own instance.

        I use Firefox, TOR, and even Edge sometimes these days for its nifty “Drop” feature. You’ll never catch me using Chrome.

          Meanwhile, there are dozens of us using Safari, and wondering what all the fuss is about.
