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

    Honestly, I was already using FF for my home. Made the switch on Mobile after seeing this on the news yesterday. I’m just one person though.

      I’ve also switched to FF on both desktop and mobile because of this. So there’s two of us!

      I’ve been using Firefox Mobile for years. It’s never let me down and having mobile adblock is great

        Yeah, I made the switch on Mobile when YouTube’s ads started getting super annoying. Ad block is a killer app in my book.

      I switched my whole family several years back. Nobody has any issues with it.
