privacy

Opera comes with a pre-installed adblock ;)

Calling it rn, if it doesn’t have this shit Microsoft Edge will become super popular amongst the general public once they learn that Edge is like Chrome but without this ad stuff

Wow, this comment section is a giant echo chamber. Really, guys?

Yes, Google and Chrome are dumpster fires for privacy. But this is at least inching in the right direction, however small. Now the next time you shop for a present for your girlfriend on Valentine's Day, you can prevent yourself from getting underwear ads for the next month.

Also, if this is your last straw... you've had your head in the sand for over a decade. Google has been watching every single thing you do, categorizing it, and selling ad placement for that topic to the highest bidder ever since ads became their primary business model. Chrome just made it easier to do that.

I ditched Chrome a short while ago due to its poor memory management and its inexplicable inability to handle certain sites that Edge can somehow handle fine for a third of the RAM hit. This wouldn't have been my deal breaker.
