I think you can just assume at this point the US government does not care about the constitution or it’s people and will use any means necessary to collect data on those who wish to counter its growing authoritarian nature.
If you go to a protest, only take a burner phone or no phone at all. If you must take your phone, turn it off and Faraday cage it.
The US has become a failed state. Leave if you can. Things will only get worse before it completely implodes.
My first web browser was Mosaic version 1. I ran version 2 alpha for a bit.
Netscape started doing things better so I moved over to it.
Over the years I’ve bounced around from Netscape, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and a few others (the MS browsers never really swayed me). It seemed like every year I’d be moving to a new platform or version. I usually have 3-4 browsers installed on my computers at any given time.
Once Chrome blocked uOrigin I moved over to Firefox. Easy.
The point is, to get the best (and safest) browsing experience, you have to be flexible. If you just use the thing that “came with the computer” you’re going to have a bad time. If Chrome wants to break your browsing experience, ditch it.
