So after a brief stint navigating the weird, wild world of Chromium based browsers, I'm back on Librewolf. None of those browsers come close to the privacy and security feature set of Librewolf, its breadth of platform support, not to mention support for uBlock Origin and other privacy-first extensions, and seamless, self-hosted bookmark and password syncing.

If I come across any sites in the future that don't work with Librewolf, and they are important enough to warrant it, I'll fire up Ungoogled-Chromium for that site only.

California’s new privacy law will require browsers to provide a built-in, one-step opt-out for data sharing. Experts believe browser vendors may extend this capability nationwide to avoid fragmented builds and residency validation.

With 12 states now mandating recognition of opt-out signals, this could shift how platforms and data brokers handle user information once the law takes effect in 2027.

🧐 Ah yes, another groundbreaking revelation that your browser isn't a secret diary but more like a neon sign for advertisers. But don't worry, just install 37 plugins, disable JavaScript, and wrap your computer in tin foil. Problem solved! 🙄🔍

Chrome 136 is rewriting the privacy playbook—Google’s triple-key partitioning means your visited links stay private to each site. Twenty years of history leakage just got locked down. Curious how it all works?

The article hilariously claims Philip K. Dick thought Stanisław Lem was a whole committee of commies 🌟. But first, it demands you sacrifice your browser privacy on the altar of and cookies 🍪🔒. Clearly, the real conspiracy is against anyone trying to read this nonsense. 😂

I have a confession to make... I switched from #Chrome to #LibreWolf on my work computer, and after just four days, it feels like I’ve been using it for a decade. No trackers, no Manifest V3 nonsense. Just pure, peaceful browsing.
Now, I can’t help but regret all those wasted years with Chrome. 😔
Next mission: finding a solid alternative for my personal computer and iPhone. Any recommendations?

Two side missions I wanna start in the new year -- unifying my bookmarks (no matter which side of "me" it's for). I have been holding back a bit, bc of all the browser shenanigans.

So, what privacy friendly browser alternatives can I look to? I have Librewolf and Waterfox on my list.

oops ... i meant to say - so then in a way, installing the linux version of chrome is better for data separation inside of a single user space on chromeOS ... if i have two main umbrella setups that i want to avoid mixing data between those two "umbrella" accounts

**when compared to *just* the lacros browser**

Got it. Yes, installing the Linux version of Chrome can be better for data separation inside a single user space on ChromeOS compared to just using the Lacros browser, especially if you want to avoid mixing data between two main "umbrella" accounts. Here’s why:

Greater Isolation: The Linux version of Chrome operates within the Linux (Crostini) container, providing a higher level of isolation from the main ChromeOS environment compared to the Lacros browser, which is still integrated within the ChromeOS ecosystem.

Separate Environments: Running Chrome in a Linux container means it has its own isolated environment, making it easier to maintain distinct data boundaries and avoid accidental data mixing.

Independent Profiles: Both the Linux Chrome and ChromeOS Chrome maintain separate profiles, ensuring that bookmarks, cookies, browsing history, and extensions do not overlap.

Selective Syncing: By not signing into Google on the Linux version of Chrome, you can keep its data entirely separate from the ChromeOS version, providing better control over what data is shared or synced.

In comparison, while the Lacros browser does offer some separation by running a more standalone version of Chrome on ChromeOS, it may not provide the same level of data isolation as running a completely separate Linux container.

Summary
Linux Version of Chrome (within Crostini):

Greater isolation from ChromeOS.
Independent profiles and data storage.
Enhanced control over syncing and data separation.
Lacros Browser:

Separate from the main Chrome browser but still within the ChromeOS ecosystem.
May not offer the same level of data isolation as a separate Linux container.
Overall, using the Linux version of Chrome for data separation within a single user space on ChromeOS can offer a more robust solution compared to just using the Lacros browser when you need to maintain clear boundaries between two primary "umbrella" accounts.
