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

        At work I guess you only do work related stuff, so at the end of the day it's only work-related data that the browser has access to. Why would it matter to you?

        99.9% of my the personal browsing I do is in firefox both on phone and desktop, but on work laptop I use Edge because 1. the work web-apps seem to favour chromium based browsers and 2. it's not my data so I don't really care about the privacy of my company's data, they have a data privacy officer to worry about that.

              2 years later, the "Manifest" is doing it's job and still I know some people that would not leave their favorite Chrome.

                No, at work I regularly do non work related stuff. Also when doing work related stuff I prefer to use firefox as I can use adblockers.

                Having said that I understand that I’m using work supplied laptop and if they force me to use Internet Explorer than that’s what I have to use.

                Having said that it’s not so important as for my personal browser.
