I keep wondering why people who seemingly care about their privacy continue to use Google products/services, doing all their online activity while logged in to their Google account.

Younger people growing up are used to living in the shadow of an ad company. Ad company keeps pushing the envelope on privacy but those who most vocalize opposition are getting older. Cycle repeats until ad companies win.

Sure, only if ad blocking community stop fighting.

I have actually been running the Edge beta for about a month. It's pretty good. I've noticed that since I no longer use Chrome, a lot of the ad-tracking related items have gotten much more generic over time (such as the news articles on my phone on the chrome homepage).

I at least I feel like I'm being tracked a little less by a single entity.

As much as I want to use Firefox more, it doesn't "just work", unlike Chrome.

Every other update it destroys my containers and I have to recreate them. Or it will just stop responding to keyboard input after an update. I have to go in and disable all add-ons, restart and enable them. I get it, add-ons are hard.

I'm just afraid that if I start syncing my bookmarks etc that I do with Chrome, Firefox will destroy them someday and I'll be left spending half a day recovering.

I do want to use it more, but I also need it to just work every time.

I've used containers since Firefox 52 and this never happened to me.

Have you ever filed a bug report for the issues you've come across?

The opportunity cost of privacy on the web is greater than your average person is willing to pay.

Because Chrome is the fastest browser[] and Google services are usually the best.

[]Perhaps that will change once they nerf ad blockers.

Chrome is the fastest browser for YouTube because Google intentionally made it slow on other browsers. So, sometimes this speed is just the result of monopolistic actions.
