It’s time to ditch Chrome

This was pretty idiotic of “Rowenna Fielding, founder and director of privacy consultancy Miss IG Geek”:

“If you’re using Chrome to browse the internet, even in private mode, Google is watching everything you do online, all the time. This allows Google to build up a detailed and sophisticated picture about your personality, interests, vulnerabilities and triggers.”

What fresh nonsense is this? Vulnerabilities and triggers? Ok, so is Google going to respect these things to insulate users from content they don’t want to see, which I assume she’s in favor of? But no, she meant this as a bad thing, so am I meant to believe that Google is going to exploit my vulnerabilities and/or trigger me, because that’s good for business, and not corporate suicide? Especially in this day and age?

What a ridiculously transparent attempt to score woke points at Google’s expense. I know they’re up to shady shit, but take your “Vulnerabilities and triggers? I don’t like those! Google BAD!” attempt to manipulate people and shove it.
