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

Or use Chromium. It's an open source version of chrome. Chromium does not include user tracking and you avoid all the google telemetry bullshit

Outta the box, I'm taking Brave over Chromium. Brave is lighter, has content blockers, and has other privacy features enabled by default.

Outta the box, Brave is a cryptobro nightmare, I'm gonna pass and use Vivaldi.

You can disable all the wallet stuff though. It's not enforced.
