It gets my goat that people think it’s a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:

  1. It’s run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
  2. It has ads right out of the box.
  3. It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
  4. They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.

    Yeah, this is important. Fuck Google. I will only ever use a chromium browser if I have to for work or for a misbehaving website.

      I will reject the misbehaving website rather than resort to using Chromium.
