Jack Wallen makes his case for Android users to switch from Chrome as their default browsers.
I'm going to be honest here, I don't use a web browser very often on Android.
At some point in 2021, I switched my default Android browser to Firefox.
I'm not saying you should switch to Firefox, but you should move away from Chrome to another browser.
Figure B. At this point, any time you tap a link the newly set default browser will open, instead of Chrome.
Until Chrome no longer has a glaring target on its back and Google ends its practice of collecting more and more user data, I will always use a different browser on Android, and you should, too.
