I also use Firefox because it allows you to add lots of helpful extensions. And duckduckgo as my browser because Google was driving me insane with its ads and the search just was plain bad. I don’t know how people ever find anything with it anymore

I too have ended up using Brave after Chrome removed uBlock Origin. Works completely fine from my end and I find I don’t particularly regret leaving Chrome.

I’m afraid that’s not to do with Apple, more to do with your security practises.

Here’s a fun thing to do if you use Google search, have a Google account, and have personalized ads turned on. If you go to https://myadcenter.google.com/personalizationoff?sasb=true&ref=ad-settings and click on “manage privacy,” you can see what Google thinks it knows about you, including your relationship status, how old you are, what languages you speak, household income, education level, industry you work in, whether you’re a homeowner, and if you’re a parent. Again, it only works if you have personalized ads turned on.
