I'm fucking done with Chrome. Fuck this.
When was the last time Google made something objectively useful and not some ad bs?

Google used to be an awesome company.
They have turned into absolute garbage, something I never thought possible.
I'm locked into Gmail, that's too big of a pain in the ass to switch, but everything else I try to avoid like the plague. From shitty hardware, to abandoned software to adinfested garbage, everything they are making right now is straight dogshit.
Google search has become some real garbage lately too. I can't search for anything without getting a full page of generic useless crap that was either written by AI or an incompetent author.

Advertising is going to blow up like real estate.
How about a setting like "I don't want to be tracked and I don't want to see any ads" that is enabled by default?
I haven't used chrome in about 5 or 6 years now. Firefox all the way. I can't support a monopoly on the web.
Looking at the image colours... was the last one red, but someone said that's too aggressive? Looks strange
So what happens if you just block every ad topic?
I guess you just don’t see personalised ads
Oh no!

What's sad is that I've always been a huge Google supporter but they keep on moving in a direction that I'm no longer comfortable with.
I'm also a certified Google proctor, which allows me to officially tutor and troubleshoot problems with anything Google.
I just don't see myself ever using that skillet in the future due to the current assault on its users' privacy from Google.
