Neal Stephenson predicted this (of course). Google, reddit, and others in the cohort are effectively ‘shallow web,’ easily searchable and manipulated by SEO. As such, you get 10-15 sites with all the same content, reducing the quality of your searches and the overall quality of web content.

It’s an effort to get clicks and monetize.

There’s no coming back from it.

That’s in your head. I cannot think of anything Firefox won’t do for me. And if I came across something I needed chromium for, I would open it that one time. My privacy is worth that tiniest bit of effort.

As an independent computer consultant full time, I operate heavily through my browser for a good 60% of my work.
