It was never great.

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

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.

Why is anyone surprised by this?! Google is an ad company.

So what happens if you just block every ad topic?

I guess you just don’t see personalised ads

Have to use chrome at work and it's just such a shitty browser experience. Don't understand why anyone would use it unless they actually use Google for work.
