...... I don't know of this is satire or not.
Definitely satire, the context from earlier:
I mean, have you met people? They could be completely serious when posting that lol.
I mean... I try not to
Same same. Also for like the same reason.
People. What a bunch of bastards
How is that obviously satire?
[edit: To be clear, I assume the part that OP is not sure if it's satire or not is "or switching to a more privacy-conscious browser such as Google Chrome."] The emphasis in

The comment at the end is just tongue in cheek snark alluding to the fact that in this particular case google did better for privacy in Chrome than Mozilla in Firefox.
The fact that both me and you are questioning whether this is satire or not worries me greatly.
