It is essential to stop using Chrome.
Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.
Given Google's overwhelming presence in the browser market, this is unconscionable.
We should all despise the ad-tech business, and have no sympathy for the companies getting whacked by Google's actions. But we should not permit one monopolist to replace them all.

Try the startpage search engine. It has been much better for me than DDG.
Firefox allows you to select a home page, tho? Not sure what your problem with Firefox is.
How do I do a home page? When I couldn’t figure it out I searched online and it said on android you can’t.
It’s my bad, I didn’t realize you were talking about the android version. Maybe an extension can do it?
On android firefox just doesn’t perform so well as Chrome does and can seem slow and buggy.
Firefox on Android allows you to install uBlock Origin. That alone is a major improvement over Chrome.
You can also try out Vivaldi, which is based on Chrome and also has a built in ad blocker. I don’t think you can install uBlock Origin on Android tho…
Did you install uBlock yet?
User error, most people dont like change either
