With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Chrome does have a use, namely Selenium and automation.

I'm guilty of having Chrome on my PC, as I need to nerf over my favourites to Firefox.

Firefox is my browser of choice on my Google Pixel 7, but then again no doubt it makes little difference.

I just choose to use a VPN, so any targeted adverts are blocked regardless of the profile built up from my browsing habits.

    As someone else mentioned they have several browsers and so do I. I actually do google stuff in chrome and microsoft stuff in edge and would do apple stuff in its browser if they did not mess up the login stuff. then my firefox is my real browser.
