Google now bakes user-tracking into Chrome.

I switched to Firefox, and I have all my extensions (and a few extra ones!) that I had on Chrome.

Now I even get this awesome dashboard from Firefox that automatically blocks a ton of junk:

@jesper I have ublock...
Which one is it?

I'm gonna look at it.
Thanks.

Btw, I definitely use Firefox but I know it could go wrong quickly as Google is funding it.
So it's not the ultimate and safest one either (it's definitely better than Chrome-Chromium tho... for now)

@globcoco Eh maybe, but there's essentially two browsers at this point Firefox and Chromium. So might as well get one degree of separation of influence from Google.
