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

There’s no reason you should be using Chrome. Using Chrome:
If you haven’t already, I highly recommend reading this comic about the dangers of Chrome: https://contrachrome.com/
If you need to absolutely use a Chromium-based browser, at least use Brave (just for that site).
Not-so-fun fact from the comic Contra Chrome: Google Chrome’s URL bar is called the “omnibox.” The name is derived from the Latin word “omnis,” meaning “everything.”
When you type into the omnibox, it’s sent to Google’s servers and added to your profile forever.
Even if you deleted it or didn’t hit enter.
Or use Chromium. It’s an open source version of chrome. Chromium does not include user tracking and you avoid all the google telemetry bullshit
Outta the box, I’m taking Brave over Chromium. Brave is lighter, has content blockers, and has other privacy features enabled by default.
Outta the box, Brave is a cryptobro nightmare, I’m gonna pass and use Vivaldi.
Some websites just don’t work in Firefox, though. This is more of a fault of the devs, they’ve made websites that were only tested in and only work in Chromium, but it’s the nature of things occassionally.
Lot of those sites work just fine if I change the useragent to chrome for some reason
