100% agree on the Tor topic!

On the other hand, Chrome is also the most used among Mac and Windows users, in which you have Safari and Edge pre-installed respectively (and the OSs are quite annoying trying to re-rail you to their browsers 😂).
The users are the ones that consciously download, install and use Google Chrome, and painstakingly confirm that they prefer Chrome as default browser to their respective OSs every now and then.

Wether Chrome it is a "better" or "worse" browser is a totally different topic, probably the least important if you ask me, because market share depends on marketing and marketing is always a matter of perception, not product.

We, as "power users" can choose from a different point of view but for the majority of the population will use whatever they "perceive" as good. Once they've made their minds you won't probably change them, either.

Lastly I completely agree with you on that having a browser that's not spyware on its own is a huge point for privacy and is a first step to protect yourself.

PD: Shall you write a post about "ungoogled chromium" and other alternatives please mention me or let me know somehow! I'll probably learn something new 😄
