Use Chrome enhanced privacy protection now.
That way it'll just be one of their closest friends, who might coincidentally sell it to the other 755.
Do never use Chrome. Use Firefox based Browsers (Librewolf, Mull)
some websites require Chrome and don't work with anything else.
and then these college classes I'm taking, my laptop broke so they're loaning me a campus Chromebook. I'm like okay whatever. Of course just use it for school nothing else.
You could try changing the user agent string in Firefox to make the site think you're using chrome
There’s Ungoogled-Chromium?
You could just have two browsers installed, basically a necessity for anyone using Firefox on Android.
They don't include a print dialogue in the Android version of Firefox.
If you even remotely care about your privacy, get off of an ad-company's monopolistic browser. Firefox + uBlock Origin is the essentials for at least baseline privacy, then go up from there if you so choose.
