Both are made by ad companies where user rights and privacy are detriments to both corporations, which would deter them raking in billions USD in profit. When you think of it, it makes sense both browsers are not interested in protecting user’s rights and privacy. In the full report, both Google Chrome and MS Edge miserably fail user protections and privacy. Folks should actually go to the static report Martin linked to and view the whole thing, the failures are much more substantial than the limited space allowed in a blog can display. But please note good netizen friend, Chrome and MS Edge do not respect user privacy. The absolute best thing anyone can do to protect themselves is use uBlock Origin because it takes care of many privacy concerns and greatly diminishes the threat of getting a virus via infected ad networks.įFx No problem about the mispost.

There are many block files avail for dnscrypt-proxy that contain thousands of domains, but I just created my own custom list and mod as The three domains I listed are required to use gmail.

It also highlights the fact that spy corporations do not respect users but only their self interest. It confirms what many assumed about Chrome and the MS Edge.
