What a shock! Google, through its Chrome browser and Android OS, are selling more information about you than ever before.
It's really hard to understand the extent of what they're doing, but former Googlers have updated their cartoon series about Chrome, and the result is eye-opening. I stopped using Chrome a while ago, but still need it on occasion for work.

I use Firefox exclusively and Vivaldi on phone.
I tried using Brave but its inability to play picture-in-picture videos took me back to FireFox.
If you haven't yet, John Oliver just did a great bit on Data Brokers.

I switched to Bing several years ago, then last year, I started using the Brave Browser and DuckDuckGo for everything. It is surprising how the ads changed on Facebook after I did so.
