And that's why if a developer doesn't use Firefox and uses Chrome, they are just helping a monopoly take over everything and make a mess.

What's stopping you? I use both browsers and I see no reason why someone would pick Chrome over Firefox at this point in time.

#14This just proves all the "suspicions" privacy-conscious users have had about large corporations fingerprinting users, often in very obvious ways. There's often no better place to find ideas for surveillance than the people conscious about being surveilled.

#15If anyone is surprised about chrome sending urls to Google, you can turn the “feature” off by unchecking “Make searches and browsing better” in the sync section of Google chrome settings. Creepy.
Is that part of Chrome not open-source?

#16> My anonymous source claimed that way back in 2005, Google wanted the full clickstream of billions of Internet users, and with Chrome, they’ve now got it. The API documents suggest Google calculates several types of metrics that can be called using Chrome views related to both individual pages and entire domains.
What answer do the engineers at google working on this have for this violation of privacy?

"But what if I don't want my own computer to build and share a detailed profile of everyone I know, everywhere I go, all my preferences, and how to manipulate me?"
"Well obviously it's your fault for not picking the 'Don't Be Cool' option on subpage 27b-6, duh!"

#18From the article:
Boosting "organic traffic":
- Brand matters more than anything else
- Experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (“E-E-A-T”) might not matter as directly as some SEOs think.
- Content and links are secondary when user intention around navigation (and the patterns that intent creates) are present.
- Classic ranking factors: PageRank, anchors (topical PageRank based on the anchor text of the link), and text-matching have been waning in importance for years. But Page Titles are still quite important.
- For most small and medium businesses and newer creators/publishers, SEO is likely to show poor returns until you’ve established credibility, navigational demand, and a strong reputation among a sizable audience.
TL;DR: Clickbait + bot farms are the way to go. No wonder the internet is going to shit.

How is it a violation of privacy. Did you read the terms of service?

I've been using Firefox since the days when it had the other name. Meanwhile, I use Floorp [1], which is based on Firefox, but offers much more possibilities for customization. I am very satisfied, except for the stupid name...
