I’m unfamiliar with your work, what’s the goal of it?

If this is your first time hearing about me, welcome! :) I enjoy making informal articles about various privacy and security related topics. Whether it be a call to action or just fun thought experiments, I just enjoy sharing my viewpoints and ideas with the world. I hope that maybe one day someone will find a use for them. Yesterday, though, I asked Lemmy for some controversial privacy topics with the goal of settling debates in the privacy community, with the goal to help new people come to privacy, or to strengthen the privacy of existing privacy enthusiasts. I also maintain my own list of open source software to help people find software they may be struggling to find through their privacy journeys.

I once had a conversation with AI to see what the fastest form of local transportation is, that didn’t absolutely require paying any kind of insurance, like cars do. I did not expect the response at all: the AI told me horseback riding. The thing is, it’s completely right, but it’s something no human would ever have given as a response. Anyways, if anyone has a horse you don’t want…

Chrome sounds more secure

Chromium is not the same as Chrome. I highly suggest reading the previous posts.

yet I don’t want an advertising company looking at my browsing habbits

There are more privacy respecting options such as ungoogled-chromium and Brave (which can be configured to minimize data collection and bloat).

In the end, the choice is yours.
