There are things I disagree with Harris about, but this cycle, I’m a single issue voter.

That issue is “never having to experience Trump in any office ever again.”

Hopefully my politics can be a little more nuanced next time.

In a world where every person is free to share their opinion directly to a mass audience, *we need trusted experts in various fields more than ever.

No, they’re not necessarily going to be concentrated only in traditional media, but if I’m looking something up real quick, I’m more likely to trust some random author on a real news site than some random author on social media. Maybe I’d still get wrong information sometimes, but the odds are better.

And as soon as the young spelling pro gets “eye”, throw “ewe” at them.

Most “Q” words are weird to start with, then just adding a bunch of silent vowels at the end doesn’t make it any less so.

The pessimistic view: basically everything you do online can be tracked, sold, and bought by anyone with a few bucks. Poor online security means you have no privacy regardless of browser, while good (or at least “better”) online security is possible with almost any browser.

If your friend is advocating switching browsers, but with no other behavioral changes, that’s just a false sense of security, which may be worse.

To more directly address the question, unless you are a Chinese dissident, “China” having your browsing data isn’t any better or worse that Google or Microsoft or Meta having that same data. Spoiler: for the average user, they already do.
