Re: Chrome .. need we say more ?

Yet there is a big groundswell in the use of Chrome in the WordPress development community. Several of them who are in my local WP user group seems oblivious to the dangers of it. Several of the tools that you use to measure WP site performance only play ball when run from Chrome. Some are even hosted by Google.

My firewall refuses to let Chrome phone home. That is the least I can do in the fight against Google Spying on its users.

The same goes for Facebook. All blocked at my firewall. Anyone who says, follow me on FB gets told politely that I won't because I don't use it and never will.

Yes, my resistance is probably futile and that some gubbermint will pass a law making it mandatory for everyone to be on their social media platform.... such as 'Truth Social' perhaps?
