I do not know. I just assumed it was. I installed it like over a decade ago with TenFourFox, a fork of Firefox for PowerPC and it was just there on the Chrome addon site when I went looking for it for Vivaldi.
You could always try enabling Dynamic Filtering in uBlock Origin. Works like a charm!
There's new PPC browsers out for 10.4 and 10.5. Aquafox (which is a great and optimized fork of TenFourFox with security updates and TLS 1.3) and a new browser called Powerfox which is a fully modern browser based on Basilisk. Only problem with Powerfox is that it currently lacks JIT so it's slowwww.
Why? Plus, I think there's instructions to remove the AI somewhere. Also, there are different chromium variants out there like Brave or Helium that can work just as well and may not surveil you 24/7.
Shouldn't need instructions. Should only be installed with consent.
It felt like an afterthought. But if Apple had just stayed with it, I'm sure it would have been great.
Got a reference for that. I wasn't aware and can't find anything about it.
I'm just deeply engrained in google's ecosystem. I have both my personal and work profiles set up exactly how I like them and I like chrome a lot. I guess I could change, but there are a lot of varied opinions on what is good or bad or best right now.
This is a great tip, but you do have to make sure to spell chrome correctly. Thank you.
Yeh thanks- ooops; I was typing fast and taking chances LOL
That's how they get you. They design products to ensure you never have to leave their ecosystem so they can surveil you to their hearts' content. Have you tried Brave or Helium?
No. I'm familiar with Brave, but not Helium. I think a lot of people over react to web-based surveillance. And even if I switch browsers, I still do a ton of stuff via google, so I'm not sure how much difference a browser swap would make.
Mmmm, unless the web based surveillance has impacted you in a major way - you may not understand or care how it affects other individuals as a whole. There’s a ton of articles out there that talk about what it can do, but it doesn’t mean people are willing to listen.
I mean, even if I did anything and everything I possibly could, my work uses the google suite and I use it at work for things that I don't really have to. Say what you will about them being evil, they make a lot of really good products that other companies really can't hold a candle to.
I'm with you. Google's services work cross platform and in using them I'm not locked in to Apple's ecosystem. And Google's apps work better on iOS than they do on Android (go figure).
I dug into the privacy settings and turned off everything I could when I had an account, but that doesn't mean other people have as well. Even with those settings - unless you're standing in front of a screen on their end to see if those settings are actually affective is another thing altogether.
Some of us Apple users are paying quite a bit of money to own our own data. If you read the fine print on many free services from whomever, you may discover that whomever has the rights to your data, not you.
This assumes that my data is valuable to others, or that it's not already available via government requirements or data breach. Further, it assumes that the data I store online is sensitive and that I am careless.
Well then. It seems to me that we stand squarely in our own camps for our own reasons.
