[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1824297, member: 190607"] No conspiracy theory necessary. Chrome is a really excellent browser. But Google makes their money by tracking you, aggregating information that they have assembled about you, and selling it to others for advertising purposes. They don't really try to hide that. It's why all of their cool services are free. You aren't the customer, you are the product. However, the underlying code in Google's Chrome browser, called Chromium, is open source. That means anyone can use it for free. Several companies have taken the opportunity to modify that code so that Google's spyware is stripped out, and instead they've tailored the code to give you a browser for which security is a priority. (The opposite of Google Chrome.) The three best examples are: Brave (free) [url=https://brave.com/]Secure, Fast & Private Web Browser with Adblocker | Brave Browser[/url] Vivaldi (free) [url=https://vivaldi.com/]Vivaldi — The browser that puts you in control[/url] Slimjet (free) [url=https://www.slimjet.com/]Fastest web browser that blocks all ads and protects your privacy - Slimjet[/url] All three are excellent browsers. All three have better security than even Apple's Safari. [/QUOTE]
