Goodbye, Chrome: Google’s web browser has become spy software

Our latest privacy experiment found Chrome ushered more than 11,000 tracker cookies into our browser — in a single week. Here’s why Firefox is better.

@privacytools Is Brave Browser a good replacement for Chrome?
Or is firefox and tor browser better?

@thegnumaster @privacytools I use brave but I hear really privacy-concerned folks prefer firefox if not one of its spin-offs (e.g. "waterfox")

Tor is super secure, but slower than hell and has some drawbacks (e.g. certain sites block tor nodes)

@smithy @privacytools I have used Firefox and TorBrowser for many years.
I was asking about a replacement for chrome for those pesky sites that are slow on firefox and sites that are not 100% compatible.

Thank you for your input.
