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

Mainly that Firefox has telemetry enabled by default and you have to go into the settings to disable it.

What’s worse is that they use telemetry data to justify removal of the features. They say that only a tiny minority users use them but ignore the fact that most of the users of those features are power users who have telemetry disabled.
