Google's browser not only got new chrome, it now also uses keeps track of all websites you visit to generate a topic list for ads that is shared with websites directly. Nobody asked for that.

Tbh, the thing that got me to ditch Chrome was some of the headaches induced with it's performance. To this day, every time I've tried cold and warm booting browsers as a comparison, Chrome is always the slowest (never tested against IE because why bother). Firefox having privacy as a focus is honestly just a bonus.
