Curious, why isn't Edge an option? It's supposed to be the best alternative right now.
My guess is non-Windows user.
Chrome also syncs your browser history and passwords with their servers. They have your search history. They have your private email. They have your YouTube history. They have your private documents and photos. They run your phone. They possibly run your laptop. I guess my point is it goes far beyond Chrome. Google is running the Borg hive mind.
This is why China bans these companies long ago. Imagine handing your population’s intel on a silver platter to your adversary.

And so does Apple, Microsoft, and pretty much anyone else you share that info with. It's a little surreal to hear people complaining about companies having all their data when they were the ones who gave it to them in the first place. You want to buy privacy? They make you pay with convenience.

This is great and all - but what's the alternative? I've been using Firefox as my primary browser for about 2 years now - and the javascript engine on it has recently... sh*t the bed (I cannot paste links or images into facebook, I cannot paste text with line breaks into twitter, I cannot paste using reddit's "markdownmode"). I use google-chrome for netflix, recently chromium stopped working for netflix (apprently th…
Firefox recently started refusing to render pages for me on some sites, no amount of resetting the profile fixes it. I'm curious why Edge isn't an option for you? I've started using it recently and so far it's a fairly decent experience. Sure, it's Microsoft and run into the same trust and privacy issues you get with Google Chrome, but that being said, my browsing habits are pretty benign so I just accept it for what…

I'm not familiar with Bitwarden. After a bit of Wikipedia and web search research on them, I'm not sure why I'd trust 8Bit Solutions over Google for storage of my PII. Do they have the resources to keep it secure? What is their incentive structure to do so? What happens if they get bought? Should I be concerned about past errors such as "In March 2018, Bitwarden's web vault was criticized for embedding unconstrained…
Bitwarden uses end-to-end encryption. So you don't have to trust them as much as Google.
Sure, they claim they are open source and that the infrastructure was audited, but this does not prevent them from just configuring their auto-update server to serve a very special update to user at a specific IP.
