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

This is the problem! :( Monopoly is never good, in this case in particular since it's in the hand of a corporation they make money on people data.

I was confused when looking at the map, how come China is Chrome when google is not even allowed in China. Then I remember all those ad-riddled Chinese browsers that are based on Chrome.

They're likely based on Chromium, which is what Google Chrome is based on. Chromium is open-source. Chrome is not.

Not that China cares about US copyright. But it's still easier to just use open-source code rather than creating a browser from scratch or cracking open the code of a proprietary browser.

What's going on in Greenland? Did they not get the Chrome memo? Lol
