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

    Android users can use an even more private version with telemetry removed. Keeps updated with current version, but is available via F-Droid repository instead.

    Fennec (then install add-on uBlock Origin)

    Fuck Chromium-based browsers.

      removing telemetry feels like shooting yourself into the foot, you remove telemetry, they don’t get data about your usage of some advanced feature, they axe the support for that feature because “no one is using it”

      cue advanced users complaining about a feature that was axed

        That’s not a realistic worry for the world’s most used browser platform. There are three Billion with a B Chrome users. 3,000,000,000

        Even if 99% of users disabled telemetry they would still have a telemetry base of 30 million. And I would guess it’s closer to 90% telemetry enabled right now since most people do not change browser defaults.
