I have a question and need your help, please.
When I visit youp*rn.com and click the Google Chrome Menu (3 dots), there is a new entry below "Search" saying "Install Youp*rn". What the fuck is this? Of course, I did not click on it, but I am concerned.
Even more concerned, because I don't find anything regarding this with Google.
You had your Sunday laugh at me now, please do me a favour in return and tell me what this is. Thank you!
- you can setup specific sites as default search engines, and youpron is one of these.sted
- I better visit only in incognito mode. The entry appears with youtube music as well.SimonFFM
- that button installs youporn as default search engine for the browser search barsted
- type in: chrome://extensions/
and if you see anything related to that just hit remove.sted - and THANK YOU, sted!SimonFFM
- running no extensions, but it appeared in the search engines. thank you!SimonFFM
- cheers for all the infoGardener
- Lol imagine using a porm site as your default search enginenb

Firefox for 99.9% of things, if something requires Chrome: open Chrome to do the task, then quit Chrome.

Some alternatives that I just can't dedicate myself to:
Brave: https://brave.com/
Firefox: https://www.mozilla.org/en-CA/fi…
Min: https://minbrowser.github.io/min…
Opera: https://www.opera.com/
Safari: https://www.apple.com/ca/safari/…
Vivaldi: https://vivaldi.com/Anyone had any luck with the above (surprised Firefox has the popularity above) or any others to add to the list?
- Chrome has me by the "short & curlies"
*sigh*ideaist - Firefox is amazing now.nb
- Safari for BY FAR the best battery life on a MacBook of any kind.nb
- It's weird that devs like Chrome. Everything Google does is to help them own the internet. Firefox has way cooler people working there.nb
- Yeah, feels like not too long ago Chrome WAS the alternative in its infancy. Have to get away from Google while I still can...ideaist
- i'm liking bravehans_glib
- I've tried Brave and Vivaldi but had some weird bugs, got back to Firefox.Bennn
- I really liked the customization of Vivladi tho, but the bugs were annoying.Bennn
- Vivaldi is great! Been rocking it for a couple years nowKrassy
- I've been using Brave for a while now, it's pretty great. all the pluigns and same feel as chrome but much more secureakiersky

For what it's worth:
I [begrudgingly] use Drive/Docs for some things and I'm on Firefox.

The chrome help forums are just full of angry nerds shouting at somnambulant google devs in terms I don't understand.
For anyone interested, Chrome beta seems to be a reasonable short-term fix. You can run it instead of or as well as regular chrome, and sync bookmarks and prefs.
