Chrome highlights page keyword search result locations on the scroll bar, making the process of going through them very convenient. Firefox doesn't, and I couldn't find an extension that replicates the feature without extra manual effort.

Also, I find Firefox UI sluggish to use, relative to Chrome UI.

Well, I think you’re paying for the better speed in chrome by sacrificing your privacy. Isn’t that how this all works?

You consent to being tracked -> google gets money off of tracking you -> google can pay more engineers to work on chrome and make it faster -> you get more tied into chrome’s performance quirks and ecosystem -> google gets more money by tracking you -> and so on...

If that sounds fair to you, then none of google’s actions should bother you (probably). But for me personally, I switched over to Firefox a long time ago when I noticed that chrome was becoming increasingly user-hostile in design.

That actually sounds alright to me. But then I have everything in Google Drive, use G-Suitr for everything, buy Pixel phones and Chromebooks.

Hmm this is actually quite interesting...I don’t know anyone IRL who has such deep integration with google services (apart from a few googlers of course).

You seem to be exactly the kind of user that would benefit from chrome’s recent changes.

Is there anything google could do that could make you move away from their services? I can’t imagine that any further anti-privacy actions by google would justify the cost of having to having to switch away from google’s platforms.
