[fucking_tragedy]

Chrome regularly tries to trick me into logging into my Google account via Chrome. If you try to disable this functionality, updates will include new dark patterns to trick you into logging in anyway. Now if I log into any Google service, Chrome will magically log into my Google account, too. When I open Chrome, I'm greeted with a new tab with a login screen for my Google account.

I don't want to have mess with a bunch of settings just to turn off anti-user features and tracking. I am willing to mess with a bunch of settings if it enhances the functionality of the application I'm using.

Open 'about:config' in Firefox and look at all of the ways Firefox's behavior can be configured. I run my own Firefox Sync instance, because Firefox is just that customizable. Google regularly removes customization options from Chrome. I used to be able to Cast non-HTTPS resources from Chrome, then I had to enable a setting buried in its experimental features to do so. Now the feature is "enabled" in the settings, but after Chrome auto-updated a few times, the feature doesn't work at all.

I can no longer install Chrome extensions from GitHub, even though I could a few weeks ago. Google decides to take extensions off of their Chrome Web Store, and then make it difficult to use extensions they don't approve of.

Firefox uses less memory and CPU than Chrome does, I'm on a MacBook, so anything that unnecessarily drains my battery is a pain to use.
