I needed to reinstall Firefox on this computer, so I started up Chrome to download the latest version and it blocked the download as unsafe! I had to manually tell it to download anyway.

Fuck Chrome. I'm glad I only used it to download one file and went back to Firefox.

Firefox thinks Chrome is unsafe as well.

Of course! With it's ad-blocking features, Firefox threatens the Chrome/Alphabet profits! This cannot be legal in a free (to make profits) country! /s

Remember when the meme was about Internet Explorer?

IE: What is my purpose?

Me: You download Chrome!

IE: Oh...my god!

Now Chrome isn't trusted. Even duck duck go is getting dubious. It seems there's almost nowhere to turn. Your data is their data, and if you dont like it, you can lump it.

Basically microsoft has a deal with them which makes them give aggregate data to microsoft. Which led to this.

P.S. : I am primarily still using ddg in case someone's thinking I'm an anti or something.

Ok, seems it’s time to seek next search engine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I use both SearX and LibreX alongside DDG and that helps with 99% of my daily search online.

If I need to use Google for search, I do so in my tor browser.

My favorite is Edge trying to plead with you not to switch browsers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

At work, we subscribe to Microsoft Defender so that we get a centralised view of potential security issues on people’s computers.

It’s always saying that there’s something wrong with Chrome and it never alerts about the same issues that are almost certainly a problem with Edge.

That’s mildly infuriating too.

Didn't happen to me on windows! ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

I don't know why you're getting downvoted; out of curiosity I just now tried it on Windows myself (Google Chrome 120.0.6099.130 Official Build 64-bit) by typing mozilla.org, clicking "Firefox downloads" at the top, and selecting the one for Windows. It sailed through almost instantly.

BUT - just because it worked for me personally on a completely different machine, OS, and installer doesn't mean OP is misrepresenting what happened to him; competitive app blocking has certainly happened with Edge. For all we know it's some Google A/B trial bullshit, no telling at this point.
