I mean, to be fair, slavery is slavery whether there's a "good reason" or not

That's the sound of someone who realizes they forgot what conversation they were having and refused to admit it. That's okay, it happens to the best of us
Doesn't really make a difference. Google pays to keep their search engine the default, same as they do for Apple.
Or the fucking squirrels
You misunderstand me. You were complaining about downvotes from people who don't share your experiences. You were also claiming that absolutely everything is terrible, here.
Yes, you've had bad experiences. I don't doubt that. But the downvotes come from those that don't share your experiences and completely disagree that "everything is terrible." You're labelling absolutely everything bad based on your own personal experiences and, while I get it, is not really how things work
Do you even remember what conversation we were having?
Developers? Panicking? Developers will rejoice that they don't have to build these garbage mechanics. Publishers and game studio execs? Yeah they'll panic
No it's not. It's called admarketplace
Uh. Google is an advertising agency. Their entire business model is collecting data. Chrome is made by Google, ergo the ad company that Chrome uses is Google because Chrome is Google.
They collect everything
Nowhere does it say they collect browsing history. There are multiple places across their site where they explicitly say they do not.
Excessive doomerism isn't popular among those that don't share your experiences
Around 2/3 of all bankruptcies are from medical debt
A bit misleading, though I get your point. 2/3 of people who file for bankruptcy have medical debt, not that the medical debt was the cause of the bankruptcy. Any dollar amount of medical debt factors into this statistic, so if I have $800 in medical debt with reasonable payments and I drown under a mortgage I can no longer afford and 20k in credit card debt, did the medical debt cause the bankruptcy? Of course not. It's counted anyways.
... the ad company IS Google
Firefox collects diagnostics and some usage data, not browsing history, Google collects absolutely anything and everything.
Their primary, nor secondary, source of revenue is not selling your data. You can also disable it entirely pretty easily. You cannot do that in Chrome.
Given the two options, one is clearly better.
Recover your freedom? So you're not free and are forced to work? Sounds like textbook slavery, to me. Indentured servitude is still slavery
