article: Google Chrome Is The Worst Browser
-
I try to avoid anything from these sphincters. With a VPN, it's far easier to use DuckDuckGo or StartPage (which forwards Only Do Evil's results anyway). If I use their search engine directly, it often wants me to go through several captchas to prove I'm not a bot. No wonder, because VPNs make it harder to assemble dossiers. There's far more that could be said. If Dante were still around, he'd add an extra circle in Hell for these pricks.

I switched from Firefox some years ago and never regretted it. And I even installed Chrome on my iPad to replace the awful Safari. From what I have seen of Edge (when MS forces me to use it) it is not that wonderful.
Chrome "just works" - it displays every page you throw at it, and it's "multi-device" support is excellent - you can send pages to other devices such as my phone or Surface for later. It's stable, it's not ugly, you can mute all tabs except for those on a white list, ... I've been using it for years and have no problem with it. :thumbsup:

hmm, So Chrome worked its way to the top and now is the one that has the biggest target on its back. That is all articles like this are saying. Hey I want to take pot shots at the most used/biggest thing out there. That being said there are other browsers. LOTS of other browsers. And this author only listed the big ones that everyone already knows about anyway. In the past 6 months I have tried out the following browsers Chrome - Just works! Opera - Works pretty Well Old Edge - ummm you mean IE 12? It sort of worked. IE11 - Needed for somethings avoid for all others. New Edge - Actually pretty spiffy. Brave - IT is a Brave new browser called Brave? It actually is worth checking out. I kind of like it. FireFox - See Opera. Sea Monkey - See Opera. only less so. Tor Browser - HAHAHAHA Yes it works slowly. Not sure why you would unless you want to hide what you are searching for. Which would cut down on ads if you are willing to go that route all the time. So all that being said. Who cares? Which one works for you use it.

hey Alta Vista still exists. (sort of) Alta Vista Web Search[^]

Wow, I haven't seen that one since the 90's :laugh: Yahoo lost pretty much all of its market share over here. They were pretty big with search, mail and news in ye olden days.

In the old days, when you complained to web site that their pages didn't display properly, the answer was plain: "Why don't you use IE6? It works perfectly with IE6!" Nowadays, the answer is equally plain: "Why don't you use Chrome? It works perfectly with Chrome!" I've had this answer from two different web sites, and from numerous friends and colleagues. When I reply "Yeah - just like with IE6!", those old enough to remember the browser wars turn to mumbling and their face gets a darker color. (The younger ones don't have a clue.) I started using FF as an alternative to IE6. I keep on using FF as an alternative to Chrome.

Exactly. It happened to IE, it happened to Firefox, now it's happening to Chrome. Welcome to the internet. I'm old enough to remember when Firefox came out and people talked about it like it cured cancer. "Gah, IE is RUBBISH, use Firefox", that's all you read. Now it's "Gah, Firefox is RUBBISH, use Chrome" and so on. It also makes me laugh when I see these kids rubbish webforms, MVC is great, now MVC is rubbish and the next thing is great. I always tell them that in a few years time what they think is great now they will think it's rubbish. I guess one thing experience teaches you is that things don't "become rubbish", it's just that other things improve. Meh.

I hate that chrome doesn't have a drop down arrow in the address bar for recently used sites as all other browsers do and have had since creation. I use SeaMonkey for general purpose browsing as it has integrated Thunderbird with RSS support too. I still use pop3. I find QBO and WooCommerce render best in chrome so I begrudgingly use it for those tasks.

I do not think there is good or bad or better or worse browsers. It is all a matter of personal taste in the end -yes, even if there are light differences in performance - so these articles are quite futile. That said, Edge is really the worst browser ever, especially combined with Bing.

I switched to brave on Friday, entirely because of a Mozilla blog entry - We need more than deplatforming - The Mozilla Blog[^] I don't need the web browser to pick/choose what I do/don't see.

It's the search engines that do that. But this is the second imbecilic thing I've read on this blog, so they only have one strike left.

When using any browser on an iPad, you are using the Safari rendering engine because that's the only one Apple allows on *their* devices. So, on an iPad, the Chrome browser is a skin that replaces the Safari skin. You may prefer that skin, but in terms of rendering, etc., it's Safari all the way down. Note that it's not *your* iPad, it's *theirs*. It's nice of them to let you use it.

Sadly Edge is just another Chrome, reporting to a different HQ. No, Chrome is not perfect, because remaining on top is easy if you are big enough to break others' products. The only sane browser on Windows was IE11, just look at it's memory usage.

No, here is the part we "forget", and I believe THIS was the point of the article. If you use google Chrome, they have ACCESS to every site, and EVERY password you have, whether you saved it or not (on the basis that they process the screen/html). So, they could certainly, grab/steal/store ALL of your details (and most probably do). Waiting for a hack to come through that exposes EVERYTHING about you. But it gets worse. They have a political agenda, too. Maybe you are MILO or someone they despise. What do they know about you? Hmm, your bank, your username, your password, which IP addresses you come in from. [My bank ties my IP down, and requires special authorization to use from elsewhere], but if I use a VPN, and they know the company. THEN they just dial through that VPN, and come out the other end with full access? We have way too much trust. I remember when the biggest issue was spam. And I use 3 different browsers, including Brave. Chrome is COMFY and basically works. But I don't do my banking on it! Now imagine when you use a MFA key, using a google MFA APP. LMAO. Does that suddenly give you the creeps? Or worse, the QR code was DISPLAY by a chrome browser that recognized it was a QR code. And then knew the next 2 numbers you keyed in to authenticate the device. Oh, are we soooo trusting... [don't worry, SSL/TLS promises us that ONLY GOOGLE/CHROME/BROWSER and YOU know the details. I only trust ME in that relationship].
