A self-written blog after conducting a study about Google Chrome privacy invasive practices.
Anyone using Chrome is an idiot.
OK, arguably. But I would not suggest to approach your friends like that, to get them off it!
If our goal is to move people off privacy invading tech, we can get more flies with honey than vinegar. If we approach ppl like, you’re an idiot! Well it’s just human psychology. Ppl entrench against you. They are much less likely to listen.
We can get better results to come at them in a positive way. Be patient, explain the probs. Explain the future risks of big G controlling all browsers, and by extension, de-facto web standards. Give ppl alternatives. Point them to good online explanations of why not to use Chrome.
We’re in an info overload world. Most ppl don’t have any idea about any of this stuff.
i’m actually successful in converting friends by installing firefox and ublock.
feels like premium internet.
OMG, yeah! When I see my friends screens who don’t use sth like UBO, I’m like… how can you stand it?
IMO showing them “premium internet” makes for a good chance to talk about why G having the market power to make manifest V3 a standard, is so important. And why we should all fight back against it.
So 95% of people, that checks out actually.
