   Chrome: We're automatically opting you in to a new feature that sends your home address to advertisers but puts little asterisks over parts of it, and we're calling it Ultimate Privacy Protection

   Firefox: We're encrypting every step of the DNS and HTTP connection process so nobody on the planet can know what you're doing online, because fuck anyone who would want to know

   These two are not the same and should not be regarded as equals

     @EppyNWS I've completely switched over to using Firefox as my daily driver. I've yet to find any workload for which it isn't well-suited, though there are some cases where Chromium extensions do make some workflows a little easier.

     For those limited workflows, I just run a basically disconnected-from-everything Chrome instance.

     @silvereagle What is your take on Vivaldi? It seems like it's the least shitty Chromium Port, but I am not sure if that means I can daily-drive it or whether that's just the flavor of chromium I keep as a backup in case firefox is broken on some website I need to use for some crucial function (and fill the bug report that the website doesn't work on non-chromium browsers)
