Pretty good reason to drop chrome immediately.
Pretty good reason to drop Google immediately.
How much does this have to do with rise of chatgpt?
Google is choosing the dark side, as that's the only way to show the 25% YoY growth.
Just use Brave. You'll thank me later ...
Are they still pushing their crypto?
A lot better than pushing user data collection, ads and analytics no?
Brave pushes ads. https://ads-help.brave.com/campaign-performance/targeting/
Ads in Brave are opt-in.
In other words, ads are NOT "pushed" --- *unless* you choose to be paid to receive them.
Even if you do so choose, your history and other personal info never leaves the browser. Any "personalization" is done locally.

Thank you. Your comment makes me check if there's anything like Brave for Firefox. And here it is: cachyos-v4/cachy-browser 130.0-2 (Firefox is at 131.0.2-1 now).
Nah. The real one to use is Librewolf.
LibreWolf is indeed very good.
