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

I used to use Brave and saw that article last week about how they are selling your data for AI training. I instantly jumped to Firefox

Brave is just a reskinned Chrome anyway. Even Chromium has built in telemetry.

Firefox is the only independent browser. Even Edge is Chrome these days.

We need to support Firefox. Unfortunately it's dying more and more every year

How is Apple "independent"? You're just trading one mega corporation for another.

It's not Chromium specifically, but it has basically the same issues.
