Seriously! Even back in 2007 I was all "chrome is faster? Great, now Firefox has some competition" I never switched to chrome. You couldn't pay me to use that privacy nightmare.

I used it when it was new and google didn't seem so bad. Google even sent me one of the original Chromebook prototypes (CH-47) before they launched as a product for sale. i don’t know when it started to become clear that google was going evil, but around 10 years ago it was really obvious where things were headed.

It was around the time they removed "Don't be evil" from their official philosophy.
