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

First and foremost I abandoned Chrome for the 3rd reason and haven't looked back. One of the largest corporations in the world can't make a web browser that doesn't use an obscene amount of ram to open 3 tabs at once :0

Saw this tweet recently:

"Google is pointing out issues with my site performance. It's forcing me to inspect what I can improve. I finally removed google analytics and mobile performance jumped from 70 to 96."

I think that should tell you everything you need to know about how bloated Google is.
