    Several things:

    • Owned by for profit company
    • Browser engine is dominant
    • Said company is in the ad business, so they don’t have the best incentives for privacy
    • Said company are well known for pulling stunts to get people using their browser (i.e. using web rendering techniques that is fast on their browser but painfully slow on others)
    • Having a monopoly in an area is bad for us users

    Meanwhile, I’m glad folks on here are very pro-Firefox as well as not shitting on Chrome users. I was afraid it was going to be thls (except replace “invented Comic Sans” with “uses Chrome”) https://achewood.com/2007/07/05/title.html
