Out of the frying pan and into the fire. With regards to privacy and tracking Chrome/Chromium is so much worse than Firefox. Whether it be terrible defaults, exceptions which allow Google to see your system info, or an incognito mode which is a misnomer, Chrome just doesn't do privacy at all.

I can sympathise about general usability concerns but they don't really relate to the OP.

I personally run Ungoogled Chromium for anything that doesn't work in LibreWolf, which is fortunately not too much.

How is your personal story related to the story? I don’t believe Chrome is better than Firefox on terms of ad tracking.
