i personally wouldn't trust a search engine company to be my browser and internet provider when their business model is gathering big data about you and then targeting ads around your interests

ever wondered why google wants in on the internet provider scene so much? yeah sure they want you to have gigabit for streaming content, but the underlying reason is no matter what search engine you use, if you have google are your provider they can still gather data what you search for and target ads your way. they provide the pipe you look through, there's no way around them then except encrypting all the traffic, which many politicans in america are lobbyquesting to become illegal.

firefox is the way to go, its not as fast but has more plugins and better features, internet explorer is terrible still

Still use Firefox because Chrome does not care about privacy.
Right. I don't trust Google not to be building a profile of me to sell on someday lol.

Opening a gmail account pretty much requires your phone number now, for "your security" of course... lawl

firefox was bloated/memleaked to shit at the time chrome came out, I swore it off as a primary browser back then. Has there been any change in this area?
