Not only that, but it is also the slowest and most unsafe.

Worst browser. hard stop

Guess you didn't read the article fully.
Here is the actual TLDR as to why chrome is bad for non techy people,
- Chrome does not have the ability to block any malicious ads pretending to be genuine.
- Chrome does not respect the system wide dark mode when it comes to websites.
- Chrome automatically logs you in. Not good for privacy.
- Article recommends Firefox (with ublock and dark-reader) or Vivaldi.
Vivaldi is actually great. Has some UI issues but I'm happy with it. I use firefox too

Chrome sharing the same login as the Android device is not only bad for privacy and usability, but is a complete pain in the ass to explain to non-tech-savvy people.

And for techies, is it good ?
No. But its based on chromium so it has better dev tools than Firefox. That's about all it has going for it.

I convinced my "non-techy" partner to try Firefox after a fresh OS install and she had zero issues adjusting. I wouldn't even call it an adjustment in fact, she just continued using it the next day and never ran into a single problem. A lot of the reasons she still used Chrome were just down to complete misconceptions about how to use a web browser, like thinking she needed Chrome to be signed into her Google account or that she would lose all her bookmarks and stuff if she switched. I also got my mum to switch last year - again, the only reason she used Chrome was because she was confused about the difference between Google Chrome the web browser and Google the search engine. Google has a monopoly on these people without doing anything deserving with their product, it's just pure marketing and market dominance.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Unfortunately, Chromium is quite fast on Android. I kept trying to use FF, but it chugs on big pages and eats way more battery.
Cromite was a good compromise, and I don't know of a better adblocking/anti fingerprinting browser, especially on mobile.
Now, this is not true on desktop. FF is great. I dunno if its faster than stripped Chromium, but its fast enough to not really matter.

True, but there are alternatives to Chrome that use its engine, such as Brave. I have tried Chromite and it is very good.
