The Lite version works fine for me. Would I prefer the full version? Sure. But migrating to a different browser is not that high on the list of things I have energy for.

You can export your contacts and settings and import them in another browser with a few clicks. I am not sure what energy is needed for that but use whatever you prefer.

Mental energy to overcome Stockholm syndrome.

Dude. It takes like 10 minutes for the full migration. Export your bookmarks and import them to any other browser other than chrome. Jeez. Preferably Firefox.

I mean, if you are using plain Chrome, you can kiss any semblance of tracking protection goodbye. And it is going to get more anti features in the future.

Believe me, I understand not having the energy to address a pile of tech issues; I have them too. But it’s not too bad if you decide to switch, either, as all browsers can import settings from each other.
