If anyone reading this is using chome, Why? Google is learning everything you do online because of it. Firefox is a fantasic desktop browser. I didn't want to make the switch a year ago but when I did I loved it. If you're on a mobile device, Firefox, DuckDuckGo, and Kiwi are all great open source options.

I recommend Lightning Browser on mobile, available on Google Play, F-Droid, and other repos. Orfox has been replaced by Tor Browser Mobile on F-Droid's Guardian Project repo, check it out.

For desktop, always use Tor Browser to browse on raddle's hidden service. There's no reason not to! http://lfbg75wjgi4nzdio.onion

Ya, I'm not sure why I don't use Tor on desktop all the time.

I didn't know about Lightning browser. Thanks! The only thing keeping me from switching away from Kiwi browser is that Kiwi has a night mode that is really nice to use with my amoled screen.

I was using Chrome and other Google products intensively before switching to Firefox and other alternatives. Wish I didn't have to use Windows, but I like to play video games, and Linux has been ignored by game developers for a long time

That's what Proton is for, it's best if you have a relatively recent GPU though.

Google has, in the last five years, shifted in my mind from a cool company to a cancer

I'd argue they were always a cancer, but now they've metastized.

Agreed. The signs were always there I guess, destroying products that people liked, not listening to people, becoming a monopoly...

For me, the extensive use of Google by schools is probably the creepiest part.
