Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

Why Safari? Apple is just another greedy corporation.

Because Safari is chock fill of strong privacy features, just like Firefox. It’s a very good browser, if you’re using Apple devices, especially with the forthcoming OS updates.

Apple may be a greedy corporation, however, as they make their money selling you expensive hardware and a premium experience, they are not incentivised to monetise user data.

Google has the opposite incentive given they make money at all from Chrome or Android, other than advertising. Arguably they barely make any money at all, other than advising… so of course they’ll track you.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
