I have been using @librewolf on my desktop for a long time and not a Chrome browser or those based on it. Now don't tell me you have nothing to hide and wonder why you've been cheated on before.

What does being cheated on have to do with a web browser?

[–] velox_vulnus@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Cheated, not as in relationship. Cheated, as in, misleading cookie dialog window and popups.

Yeah thats being cheated out of something, not being cheated on by someone. OP explicitly says “cheated on”

[–] velox_vulnus@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Not everyone can speak English natively, including me. OP is from Germany, judging by their previous posts.

I think poster meant dark pattern (asking for bogus consent while collecting more data then user agrees upon) as a way of cheating by Google.
