Those who have a online lifestyle that revolves around a Google account would be better off using another browser. The Classic is good for the "Google-phobic" surfers, if I can invent a term.
It's not the end of the world. As I said, I can use another browser for that. So no loss.
But Get Real, I think you will find about 99% of all people use Google Services of some kind so you are locking yourself from the field.
I understand your opposition to them, and that's your call and choice. The vast majority of security conscious or Google Skeptics just use DuckDuckGo and log into Google services when they want to thus they dictate their own terms.
Paphitis, the Classic has around 2-3 thousand users and they’re all paranoid like me!
We don’t like Google and their “services” and don’t want them…
We don’t accept one-sided cookie/privacy agreements and therefore remove them by force…
We just don’t like taking shit from anyone so we live differently.
It doesn’t prevent us from watching YouTube videos, or using the Google search for those that want to… we just don’t want to be part of their schemes.
Get Real, I like supporting the underdog rather than supporting Google. Google are a multi billion dollar corporation and they got rich by selling our data, so I am not their biggest fan. That's the reason why I use DuckDuckGo. It's a small time search engine that does an excellent job and is privacy centric to the user.
But I still use google maybe 10% of the time when I need to, for piddly little searches like looking up a local business or service I require or finding the nearest whatever.
I also prefer Mozilla over Chrome.
I use 4 different browsers - Mozilla, Chrome, Opera, and Vivaldi.
Vivaldi is a fave because again, they are small. Mozilla I also like because it's open source and has good security features.
Chrome I don't like that much because it's a Google product.
But the one I am liking the least of all now and may uninstall it is Opera because it's now Chy-na owned and I have had a gut full of Chy-na. Shame really as it was a descent browser. If there is an evil little empire in our midst, they are it. I'm also very against 5G.
Your product is descent and I am happy to support it because you are another underdog. I believe underdogs are very important in keeping the googles of this world honest.
