If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now (www.fastcompany.com)

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

I have too use Edge at work. Is Edge also implementing this shit?

    At work I guess you only do work related stuff, so at the end of the day it's only work-related data that the browser has access to. Why would it matter to you?

    99.9% of my the personal browsing I do is in firefox both on phone and desktop, but on work laptop I use Edge because 1. the work web-apps seem to favour chromium based browsers and 2. it's not my data so I don't really care about the privacy of my company's data, they have a data privacy officer to worry about that.

    No, at work I regularly do non work related stuff. Also when doing work related stuff I prefer to use firefox as I can use adblockers.

    Having said that I understand that I’m using work supplied laptop and if they force me to use Internet Explorer than that’s what I have to use.

    Having said that it’s not so important as for my personal browser.
