I avoided Google for years, but one of my techie reservists convinced me that Chrome is just the best engine. I switched from Firefox and haven’t regretted it.

I have a mac and use safari. Love it. No ads, no issues...just smooth surfing.

I recently picked up a Galaxy S-8 and had a heck of a time finding a good browser. I finally settled on Chrome for everything BUT Free Republic. FR on Chrome was just too hard to navigate...to many finger expansions, too much swiping/maneuvering to try to pull articles into focus and centered on the screen.

I use UC Browser for FR (only) now. It has a few “bulky/inconvenient” features, but for straight out pulling up a page in readable form, it’s the best so far. The only caveat...it’s Chinese...so it’s probably sucking up every password and user id I have ever used on my phone. But then, so is Google probably. ;-)

As a general rule, the Nazis also made very fine equipment, though I think it would have been a mistake for people to have bought it because this would have supported that organization financially.

Besides that, Google is about the most spyingest organization currently in existence.

It wasn't long ago I bought a Samsung phone. It was my first "smart phone". When I found out that Android is GOOGLE and everything about the phone is GOOGLE I switched to an Apple iphone and never looked back.

I don't knowingly use anything GOOGLE.

BTW, is Algore still on their board?

Try Pale Moon. Based on the Firefox base code, but it's much cleaner and way less bloated.
