Rebel Tech AllianceBrowsers
Alternatives to: Chrome, Safari, Edge
Chrome is made by Google, and therefore is a key part of their spyware offering. Everything you do in Chrome is recorded and stored in your profile. The same goes for Edge and Safari. Use of these browsers helps feed what's called 'first party data' for these companies.
