Firefox usurps Chrome
🕑 Added 2023-10-07 16:49:01 +0000 UTCI started writing the stories for Haley this week. Trying to make them focus on nature and her being 'less intellectual'...
...but the big news (and most of the week's effort) was I switched from Chrome to Firefox. Why? As you may have noticed (if you use Chrome or Opera) this week YouTube videos started posting this shit:
So, i loaded the exact same video into Firefox and... no message... because Chrome is actually the one allowing Youtube to block Adblockers:

Sure, there are ways to edit Ghostery settings to block Chrome from blocking me from blocking ads... but, I realized Chrome also tracks and sells my data and allows government spying... I quit IE years ago for these same reasons, and now Chrome is just as bad... I put off switching for years because I got comfortable with Chrome, but now it's time to leave.
Anyways, it is mildly annoying trying to get used to the Firefox setup, transfer all my passwords and links... and debugging my game in Firefox, but I'll try this month and see how it goes. If it totally fails, i guess I can just use Firefox for videos and Chrome for everything else... but, I'd rather 'punish' Chrome by leaving...
