Who uses chrome by choice?

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

A lot of people use it because it's been the default for so long, but I'm slowly getting friends and family to swap.

OK, so ambivalence. I'm lazy, I can get behind that. Also, I appreciate the work you're doing. I gave up years ago and am still labeled by my family as "the one who cares too much about things that don't matter."

I usually tie it into a discussion about password managers and show them Bitwarden too. Like with my in-laws I did a dark web scan and showed them their own passwords were basically public knowledge. Could they use it with Chrome? Sure. But they want to know they're secure and they trust me, so I get them on Firefox with a password manager.

I'm slowly converting my dad on it but the rest of my family likely sees me the same way, lol.

Had a family member that felt the same way until someone started stalking her.

I use it and I like it. Also have a Chromebook which I love for the Android integration and ability to stream apps from my phone. Thus, I'd appreciate a more in-depth discussion here what this means for me, but all you see on Lemmy is circle jerk and hate. 🤦‍♀️

Have you tried earnestly starting the discussion, or are you expecting others to start the conversation on your behalf? 🙃

[-] Duxon@feddit.de 5 points 3 months ago

I was actually just answering the person's question and continued with a bit of rambling.
