For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Try to let go of Google everything. Start by ditching Chrome and Chromium based browsers

I switched to duck duck go who knows how many years ago. Haven’t looked back.

Can’t even remember when I started using Firefox, but that was probably around the time when Opera became popular. Before Crome existed, I was already on FF and never regretted staying there. At that point, I was already somewhat aware of privacy matters, so switching to Chrome seemed completely stupid to me.

Same, but I find for about 1% of sites I have to load them in chromium. Just works much better

It was the same thing with IE back in ancient times. A popular browser violates web standards so many sites were designed with that rogue browser in mind. If you use a browser that actually follows the standards, some sites just won’t work properly for you.
