People should do this for many reasons. Monopolies are not good for anyone, including Google[0].

For most people, that means installing Firefox or using Safari. There are others, but the space is small. Don't listen to people, Firefox is perfectly good and most people wont see major differences.

Truth is we like to complain. It's good to push things forward and find issues that need to be fixed, not nothing is perfect. For every complaint about Firefox there's another for Chrome. You can't just switch to Brave, Edge, Opera or some other color of Chrome. Things will feel different, but really it's easy to make mountains out of molehills. So what do you care more about?

[0] short term, yes. Long term no. Classic monopoly gets lazy and rests upon its laurels

I'm sorry, but this just isn't true. I used Firefox exclusively for about a year and had a website not work about once a month. This included my state's unemployment portal and a small business store.

When it happens, there's no indication of why. It's only because I'm technical I thought too try it in Chrome. My non-technical family isn't going navigate that.

    All I can say is that this doesn't reflect my experience. I'm not calling you a liar, just saying my experience has been different than yours.

    It's definitely true I've run into errors but usually those are addon issues. Maybe I'll run into an issue a few times a year on some niche website but that's about it. But most people aren't going to those places

Safari is also not adblocker friendly. Lots of other entrants to try though. Brave in particular is great!

    But Brave is a Chromium browser, which is out of scope according to the comment.
