I needed to reinstall Firefox on this computer, so I started up Chrome to download the latest version and it blocked the download as unsafe! I had to manually tell it to download anyway.

Fuck Chrome. I’m glad I only used it to download one file and went back to Firefox.

    Remember when the meme was about Internet Explorer?

    IE: What is my purpose?

    Me: You download Chrome!

    IE: Oh…my god!

    Now Chrome isn’t trusted. Even duck duck go is getting dubious. It seems there’s almost nowhere to turn. Your data is their data, and if you dont like it, you can lump it.

        Basically microsoft has a deal with them which makes them give aggregate data to microsoft. Which led to this.

        P.S. : I am primarily still using ddg in case someone’s thinking I’m an anti or something.

            I use both SearX and LibreX alongside DDG and that helps with 99% of my daily search online.

            If I need to use Google for search, I do so in my tor browser.
