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

2 years later, the "Manifest" is doing it's job and still I know some people that would not leave their favorite Chrome.

Most people aren’t concerned about privacy outside of places like here and Reddit.

With Chrome killing ad blocking, they'll quickly care

I've played around with a few browsers, and while Firefox is a better alternative to chrome, I'd more recommend a privacy hardened fork of firefox such as LibreWolf or GNU IceCat. I've also used mullvad browser which is kinda neat.

Some people are too comfortable using chrome for it's extension library however, so if a mozilla-based browser doesn't fulfill the extensions requirement, Brave browser is a good choice. I haven't tried de-googled chromium, but I imagine it's food for the reasons it says on the tin.
