      It’s chromium and the company sells telemetry data to advertisers. It’s quite literally doing the thing it draws users in with.

      1. Chromium based (which may be a pro or con depending on who you ask).
      2. Their CEO has made homophobic political donations and resigned from Mozilla due to backlash for it.
      3. They have been caught doing shady things like inserting affiliate links into the address bar suggestions.
      4. They use their browser to push their crypto currency, news and other garbage.

          Hahaha I use their crypto to buy crypto I want so that’s the reason I asked in the first place. But I guess I’ll go back to Firefox, which is the browser I prefer anyways.

          These reasons are definitely an eye opener.
