A better way of turning it off is uninstalling it
On desktop, I'm really wondering why people use it. I mean it's not pre-installed for windows, what makes people choose Chrome in 2023?
I use chrome for all my work-related web apps simply because it's more reliable(the app devs fault for not testing anything else)
However I'm also not super worried. My chrome browsing is entirely related to the work I do and all my personal web stuff is done in Firefox.
