    I switched back to Firefox two or three years ago. It was tough at first but now that I have it setup for me, I like it so much better than Chrome. Very little noise, ad-free most of the time.

    Now I only use Chrome when I’m shopping because that’s the only thing it’s good for.

      Chrome is good for shopping? I feel like if anything it would be worse as it is a data collection machine
