I was a die-hard Chrome fan for quite a few years, but recently I've mostly switched over to the un-hyped browser Waterfox. For some reason, I've never really liked Firefox much but I really just mesh well with the style of Waterfox - if you're looking for a browser that can match or even surpass Google Chrome in quality and style, check out Waterfox and see how you like it.
Strength: • Widely use
Challenge: • Google Chrome spies on you. By default Google Chrome tracks your activity on the internet. Via sync, cookies, and various methods. After Google collected your information, they sell it in covert ways to total strangers. This is part of Google business model. This is your reminder that Google is a for profit corporation. By collecting your data and linking it to you, Google put you at risk for data breaches.

• Google Chrome is own by a for-profit corporation. It is not owned by a not-for-profit community. Usually a corporation first priority is to hoard money. Not serve you and protect your privacy.
Suggestion: • Use Mozilla Firefox instead of Chrome. Because Firefox does NOT spy on you. With Firefox those spy features are still available, but they are all deactivated by default. Try Firefox at https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/
• Firefox version 60+ (Quantum) is presently FASTER than Chrome and use less memory than Chrome. Compare to previous versions of Firefox, the Quantum version is twice as fast, promote parallelism, and has more intuitive user interface. ______• Video at https://youtu.be/n6wiRyKkmKc ______• Read more and see performance test results at https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/quantum-performance-test/ ______• Article at https://lifehacker.com/why-you-should-switch-from-google-chrome-to-firefox-1821879163 ______• Archived article at https://archive.fo/XJEz7
• Firefox code is owned by a NOT-for-profit community. The Mozilla Foundation. Usually a real not-for-profit organization first priority is to serve you and protect your privacy. Not spy on you, not hoard money.
• If you need even stronger privacy than Firefox, you might be interested in Tor Browser at https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en Which is powered by Firefox.
Using: • Chrome 70 at 64-bit • Firefox 63 at 64-bit • Debian 9 Stretch at 64-bit • GNOME 3.22
Chrome no longer supports the best ad blocker available, uBlock Origin. It is time to switch to firefox and leave this ad-infested mess behind.
its a tool to collect data, behaviour to show you ads ,nothing more
It's almost the only browser that still doesn't support a built-in ad blocker. Of course, we all know why.
Quick but I want to reduce the records and automatic logins of the default account
the individual chrome profiles are extremely helpful to differentiate between work and personal use. it helps increasing my focus while working
