It looks like Google is adding more tracking to Chrome with FLoC.

I suggest everyone not use Chrome or install this extension to block the new tracking.

Brave is what I use, it is pretty much the second most secure browser and certainly the most user friendly that offers great security. You can tone it up or down, and duck duck go is another secure alternative. Using TOR is laborious but more secure as well

For those who may want to know, nightops.net has been opted out of FLOC since it was introduced. Even so, ya still shouldn't be using chrome.
