The browser is made by Google and is known to carry several chunks of code that collect all sorts of data on users, including voice and location, without consent. As far as I'm concerned (and many others for that matter) that makes Chrome no better than IE.
Thus you would use {insert some program here} if it does stuff you don't want it to?
Would you play minecraft if it installs a key-logger that can't be turned off?
I use Firefox with pentadactyl, No-Script, and Requestpolicy (I use other addons, but those 3 are my only "must haves")
Google may be a highly effective searching engine, but there is more to being a good company than that. However, I would consider Chromium if I could properly configure the UI to something sane (see pentadactyl).

Currently testing brave. So far so good just make sure youtube runs in another window or bad times ahead 
as for the rest, it seems to have the same RAM problem as chromium (not fully tested that yet) and I have the feeling there is no way to get flash working on it right now. (then again I haven't looked at that yet)
I will probably not switch to it (yet) though. Because I don't see a way to open a console and the youtube thing. (and the RAM thing if that is indeed the case).
Normally I use iceweasle (from the debian backports as the one in the stable repos is a bit too old for my likings)

Why do you refuse to use Firefox ? just curious nothing more
No real reason. I don't like its interface and it used to have massive security issues.
At the moment, I primarily use Safari because I'm on a Mac and any other browser (that I've tried, at least) feels awkward. Firefox on this laptop seems to have a lot of trouble with lag spikes. Chrome works well; I use it when there's a Google doc I need/want to mess with while my internet's broken, because that happens sometimes.
Also, occasionally, I want to log into some website in two different browsers at once (when I'm mucking with alternate forum accounts for werewolf, for instance); I've typically used Firefox for that in the past, but Chrome seems to run better, so I'll likely use that instead in the future.

How is Edge, I used once accidentally and it seemed fine. I just use chrome because it makes having a Gmail realllllllyyyyy easy, but yeah how is it?
