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

      Well this is sort of a non issue, I can say I feel the same way when I have to open Chrome. Weird ui, doesn’t do what I want it to do, no middle click to open new tab, it’s so annoying because the firefox way is objectively better. So I’m saying the only objective thing about UI is giving people choice

      I don’t think I’ve seen either of those in a decade? Maybe it’s because Firefox is my daily driver so it isn’t trying to install months worth of updates at a time.
