If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now

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

You are mostly right. Think about how many people use chrome on corporate office computers that they do not have permission to install anything on or modify. It's part of the reason Windows is so dominant. Businesses run windows and chrome a shit ton. I work for a Fortune 100 company. It's Windows and Chrome across the whole company.

I work for a large company and its the same. They even force-install Chrome despite Edge already being there! Yes, some people will make the privacy argument that Microsoft takes your data, but so will Google, and it's not as if the business cared either way, because if they did they'd install an adblocker or Firefox, which they don't.

Permissions, you say? Lemme introduce you to Portable Apps.

Yeah the second anything gets stuck into a USB port, IT is on WebEx like "Get what's that asshole in pod H-12 doing???"
