This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Uhhh.....
"Since your history shows frequent use of ~~pornhub~~, we highly recommend websites like ~~xvideos~~ and ~~redtube~~"
Because that's totally what every 15 year old fellow really needs hey Google?
Fun fact, 86% of the revenue for these big tech (Twitter/Meta/Google/YT) are from ads. π
Someone needs to make an extension that googles random stuff all the time and floods ones history with so much background noise that the history becomes useless.
This already exists btw
I thought they did already.
My ad " you like thick women, Stoicism and band tees? well do we have a goth girl for you, limited item sold, not responsible for broken car windows or torched house, all purchases are final.
I now understand late stage capitalism
How would I go about transferring my stored passwords from Chrome to Firefox?
Switch to a dedicated password manager - Bitwarden for example.
Then you can try any browser. Firefox definitely wouldn't be my choice but it is better than Chrome.
What browser would you recommend then?
It's a good idea to stop storing your passwords in your browser and use a password manager instead.
It's well done, but there's a big flaw. It doesn't make clear that Google isn't selling your data. In fact, Google's entire business model would be obliterated if it actually sold your data.
What they're selling is use of their ad network, which they can tout as having these huge profiles on everyone to advertise to. So if you're an advertiser and want to sell bee-keeping equipment, Google can say, "We'll show your ads to people who've expressed interest in keeping bees or related topics."
If they sold the data itself, no one would need the ad network, and their ads revenue would dry up after the initial data sales.
So it's in their best interests to keep your data secure. The problem is that it's also in their best interests to give you minimal control over that data, and - as the comic eloquently makes clear - harvest as much of it as they possibly can.
Time to move most of my browsing to FF. It's already somewhere around 80% FF.
I looked up "audiophool" on Chrome and I looked in my ad preferences and it started recommending stuff about speakers
edit: grammar
That isn't new, that's how ad networks work. Google owns one of the largest ad networks.
Fucking hell I am sick of having to switch browsers every few years.
Why would you need to? Did you ever trust chrome? And google?
