Google is now rolling out a system where Chrome directly tracks your activity and shares its summary with advertisers.
Also Firefox is faster as of like two months ago.
It takes five minutes to switch browsers, and the difference is so little that you’ll often forget you did it.

OKAY OKAY
it’s done. the only thing missing is Chrome’s reading list, but that’s minor.
Chrome reading list is just a knock off of pocket which Mozilla owns and is integrated into Firefox.
Using chromium, ungoogled chromium, brave (reactionary baggage), vivaldi, opera, etc is not good enough. We must switch to Firefox specifically.
All the Chrome forks I mentioned above use the same chrome rendering engine, called blink. When you use blink you’re helping google take over the web. Firefox is already on the shitlist of every major website because they refuse to prevent the user from installing things like adblockers and privacy extensions like Chrome does with manifest v3 and soon with their new Web Environment Integrity system. They cannot wait to throw up a “your browser is no longer supported :(” page for all Firefox users, and when that happens it will be over for our fox friend.
The time to stop using Chrome was always
If a simply migrate tool existed that could preserve everyone’s bookmarks, saved passwords, saved banking details, settings, etc and transfer them to firefox or other browsers it would be significantly easier to get people to move.
The biggest blockade I am seeing in getting people to move is not their love of google, it is the stickyness that having all of their shit built up in the browser causes. A simple and easy to migrate method would get people off it.
Most of this can be easily imported from Chrome to Firefox. Mozilla has a guide on it and it’s pretty easy.
Settings will have to be redone, but I find that usually is pretty quick
