Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
arstechnica.com
Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

Google is now rolling out a system where Chrome directly tracks your activity and shares its summary with advertisers.

Also Firefox is faster as of like two months ago.

It takes five minutes to switch browsers, and the difference is so little that you'll often forget you did it.

    i just got a new laptop and it came with firefox installed on it, but i couldn't really figure out its features. on chrome i like having different profiles with their own histories, bookmarks, appearances, accounts/passwords, etc.. I couldn't work that out in firefox.

    I've seen lots of people say it's an easy switch, but my ass could not do it sad-boi

      All you need should just be in about:profiles, but it's definitely not as intuitive as on Chrome unfortunately yeah

      Would containers work for you? They don't separate bookmarks, but everything else would work like a profile. It says you need an addon but I'm pretty sure you don't anymore because I don't have it.
