2018-2020 was a saner time, friend. much saner time :(



What in that doc is "tracking", and what is being tracked? It's not tracking browsing behavior for ad profiles.


If users have chrome sync enabled, their browsing history is used for targeted ads.


that's an instant ctrl+w, unless there's no alternative. and there is alternative for most things.

I know that's a minority opinion, but I do hope it's a double-digit % minority - or at least it will be once things get bad enough.



I did not. Thanks!


with chromium/ungoogled chromium/maybe other derivatives, you can put multiple browser profiles to ~/.config/chromium and add --profile-directory="xxx" to exec path


Braver user here: I can add multiple profiles through the GUI - which I use to separate my Google usage from my general internet usage. Is this not supported by base Chromimum?


I might have missed it, but I don't think it was back when I was looking for equivalent of Firefox's `-p` command line arg a few years ago. I did however end up setting up a dedicated launcher for every Firefox profile as well instead of using `-p`
