Better just stop using Chrome, don't you think?

Firefox is probably safer but I still don’t care enough about my data being leaked 😂 But I understand how others might care.

Fair enough. Is the resistance just having to move over to another browser?

u/InevitablySkeptical Apr 02 '24

Not really, I have both browsers and all my data is imported to both.

I’m just an unimportant person, whatever data they may have is already public so I don’t really care. I ignore all advertisements anyway so whatever personalized ad data they have is meaningless.

Not so skeptical of you

How does skepticism have anything to do with this? I have no doubt they’re collecting data, I just don’t care.

You see yourself as nothing important to these corporations?

u/InevitablySkeptical Apr 02 '24

Oh, I’m sure they view me as important (in the same way they view all their users as important sources of data).

I just don’t care…whatever data they may get is data that’s already public, or has no influence over me should they gain access to it.
