Is this not better for me though? If I'm gonna have ads forced on me, they might as well be relevant.
Hope you will enjoy a private company sharing everything about your life to the highest bidder. By the way, do you have curtains on your house's windows? Why is that?
The only curtains in my house are in the bedrooms, and that's just to block out light so we can sleep. My house isn't visible to any roads or other houses though.
now compare that to Chrome, which basically puts your house in the middle of a city full of leeches and scammers but no way to close the curtains
