Yep. I was tired of coming home and seeing a million malware search engines and fake VPNs extensions installed. I'm always puzzled as how they manage to get in there. I'd rather crash the browser than allow this garbage which usually takes a full reinstall to get rid of.

Your comment made me chuckle.

Back in 2008 Chrome was the breath of fresh air, with absolutely spartan look, total lack of extensions and amazing speed, while IE was the opposite. There was good reason for its initial popularity.

And now, looks like Chrome lived long enough to see itself become a villain...

I'm curious which is the new Chrome these days? Personally for me, qutebrowser has taken that spot, but it's a tool geared towards professionals, not exactly for casual users.

I think Firefox. It’s continuously getting faster and uses way fewer resources in my experience. You can make it pretty minimalist like the good old days of Chrome.
